4.0

this book is quite different from the genre i usually read, because there wasn't much romance in it, but i actually found that i really enjoyed the story. even though it's about quite a depressing topic, a teen boy in a mental hospital after he attempted suicide, ned vizzini's (rest in peace) writing makes it feel less heavy. the characters are so-so, but still a good book. didn't like the movie much though
