Impulse by: Ellen Hopkins (2nd in series)
This is another good book by Ellen Hopkins. This book deals with kids who turn to suicide to fix their problems and when that is failed, they end up in a loony bin and this book follows their stories.
ACT
ON YOUR IMPULSE,
SWALLOW THE BOTTLE,
CUT A LITTLE DEEPER,
PUT THE GUN TO YOUR CHEST.
Tony's painful childhood memories can be quelled only through pills. Vanessa has a secret that keeps her coming back to the blade. And Connor seems to have the perfect life on the outside, but his inward battle with his parents, his peers, and himself give him one last choice--to pull the trigger.
These are three lives that would have been cut short if not for the hasty intervention by loved ones. Or fate. Now they are given a second chance at a better life--but only if they help one another, and if they find the strength to let go of their inner demons. For good.
