Eh. Between Amanda Seyfried reading the book and the predictable story line I nearly didn't finish this book. This book really only skims the whole mental illness thing and makes it sound like people can just get better by being themselves. There are no real therapy sessions in this book and only a passing sentence about medications. It's more about the friendship of these teens than anything having to do with real mental illness. It's a lost opportunity to talk about a real thing that teens (and kids and adults) have to deal with.
