Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
Summary:
Summary:
Sometimes you don't wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same.
Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act -- suicide.
Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade.
Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills.
And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself.
In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun -- and tried to end it all. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other's help, they can find their way to a better life -- but only if they're strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place.

Why it's on my wishlist...
As many of you know I read Crank and Glass last month and reviewed both last weekend. Ellen Hopkins has a unique writing style that is extremely easy for me to fall into. By reading her books, you can see through each characters eyes. I have fallen in love with her books and I need to have each and every one of them.
What's on your wishlist?
