Often times we sugar coat these types of topics and tend not to address them when in fact many of our students may actually be able to relate to the content in the book. Reading this text could actually help students who may be facing these same issues.KMilsaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492609237847608632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-54678548996098974572012-04-23T00:32:44.660-05:002012-04-23T00:32:44.660-05:00I always hope that a book like this will be educat...I always hope that a book like this will be educational for the teens that read it. In this case, it is especially my hope that college bound high school students will learn from the painful situations that fictional characters find themselves in becasue for many young people, this is not fiction. I think back to when I first started college and I remember all the people who already had addictions including drugs, alcohol, and eating disorders. I think that a book like this will at least help some students recognize the signs of a problem and just how serious those problems can be.cstephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460155284651081546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-20822993926990656562012-04-23T00:32:41.391-05:002012-04-23T00:32:41.391-05:00I always hope that a book like this will be educat...I always hope that a book like this will be educational for the teens that read it.

It reminds me of psychology and our inner motivations and drives. Learning how essential and beautiful is our health and life is something people take for granted. Am interested in this book, regardless of the drug and alcohol theme. I will check it out.Mariselahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721093734840077241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-88084230634013699362012-04-22T22:30:32.845-05:002012-04-22T22:30:32.845-05:00I love your description of this book.

I'm usually not interested in the drug addict/rehab type books, but you've described this one very well and I think I'd really enjoy reading it!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655831901872592917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-1928813137049164052012-04-22T22:12:22.660-05:002012-04-22T22:12:22.660-05:00This sounds like a unique read and I know I would ...This sounds like a unique read and I know I would have been interested in it at that age. Especially having my interest in psychology, this book sounds interesting to me even now. Just from you description, it sounds like the drug and alcohol references are pretty strong. I'd hope they are negative enough to persuade readers not to try them as opposed to just sparking curiosity. Sometimes that can be a thin line!BookPaige12https://www.blogger.com/profile/14097412528008585068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-34570511109827339972012-04-22T21:46:50.731-05:002012-04-22T21:46:50.731-05:00I agree, high school students suffer from great tu...I agree, high school students suffer from great turmoil. I feel I would love to read this book because it so applicable to real life and how the human mind works. Does it have psychology in it? Insecurities I can say are something that is applicable to most if not all human beings. I feel reading books like this about recovery help see the success and triumph of being healthy and alive.Mariselahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721093734840077241noreply@blogger.com
