Hey guys new book for you! This one is about a very serious topic, but it was a great novel! It is "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini. I have had this book on my radar for a long time. Its been one ive been anticipating to read and i was right. This book was so easy to get into by day 1 i was already 100 or so pages in.
This book is about a depressed boy named Craig and he decides he wants to die. Therefore, he decides to call a suicide hotline and they tell him to enter himself in a hospital. So he does. Thats where the rest of the story takes place.
Its a very touching story with good characters and good lessons about life. It honestly opened my eyes to that depressed situation and how hard it must be. Especially for the main character, Craig. He is 15 and just entered high school, which i can tell you from experience, is very stressful and can easily lead into depression.
However, no matter what this story is about i recommend again and again. Its a great story about overcoming and accepting your hardships and living your life on your own terms and not anyone elses.
FAV CHARACTER: Honestly this book had so many. I loved Noelle, she didnt care what people thought and talked to others without judgement and i admired that.
