“Screw it. I want my heart. I want my heart but my brain is acting up. I want to live, but I want to die. What do I do?”
Ned Vizzini spent five days in an adult psychiatric hospital in Brooklyn. When he got out, he wrote this book in a month.
A story about Craig, who has gotten himself into Manhattan’s most prestigious schools. Once he begins school, he realises the pressure is too much to handle.
His suicidal thoughts land him into a mental hospital where he makes the best friends he’s ever had and learns to deal with his anxiety.
This is such a lighthearted read about a serious and dark issue. The last page of this book had me crying!
Now it’s time for me to watch the movie!
