Why I chose this book

At first, I hadn't even known anything about this book, truthfully it was a completely random pick. But as a did some research about this book, I started to get more interested. I love books that aren't formal, I like how it's from the character's perspective to really get into the story. I feel as though young adult books are successful at it because the author is trying to capture the typical teenage life. The cover only had a frowning face that said Get Well Soon. The title made me think that maybe somebody was sick and it would include a lot of drama. The description said that it was about a teenage girl that was sent to a mental hospital. I hadn't really known about mental hospitals but they've always intrigued me. What makes a person think and act differently that they are sent to a facility to rot as people think they are getting better? I think it's even more interesting that it's a teenage girl as oppose to a grown adult as many people believe that its the common age.

The Best/ Worst things about my book

In my book, the main character, Anna, gets "promoted" to getting privileges as the mental hospital treats its patients with levels from how they act to make them a better person. My main character speaks to a therapists and gets to be around other patients and things such as going to school at the hospital, eating lunch in the cafeteria, and going to group meetings. At group meetings she meets many new people but mostly boys. They all are supposed to say positive things in order to get points to move up levels and hopefully get enough to have a better chance of leaving the hospital. Anna falls in love with a tall and shy boy named Justin. She is starting to like the hospital than she did before, with her only motivation being him. What I really enjoy about this book is that it isn't formal. This is her perspective and makes it casual so the reader can really connect to the main character. What I don't like is that there isn't really a plot to the story. She just describes her stay at the hospital to her friend.
