Break by Hannah Moskowitz
4.0
Ages 13+ (tsk tsk, watch your language!)
Break is a pretty good book, until you realize it was written by a 17 year old, then it becomes a really good book. You know me and my issues with inaccurately portrayed psych wards, but even though this was enough to get my goat up, given the main character, I wasn't prone to my usual fit of pet peevishness.
Okay, so there's Jonah: he's 17. He's trying to break all of the bones in his body. Then you have Jesse, 16. He's allergic to pretty much everything. And the baby, Will, 8 months: he won't stop crying. Parents are peripheral, romance is shifty and teenage, but it's still a book that you can't put down.
I'm not making sense, am I? It's been one of those days.
