3.0

Being a psychology graduate I was intrigued by the title. I wanted to know what goes on in a person's head when they're rescued after a suicide attempt. I was disappointed to later find out that it's a fiction novel. Alas, it was a good story. It was very realistic. 
I can't exactly put my finger on what I didn't exactly like in this book. Hence, 3 stars.
