My favourite character is Noelle. She appears about halfway through the book and she's truly cool. She got a good but not very complicated backstory, she's sarcastic, funny and intelligent. I really like her. Since the story is mostly happening at Six North, an adult psychiatric hospital, there is obviously a strong character development. I've grown to love the characters, because of how real and well written they are. My other favourites are Ebony, Humble, Muqtada and Craig himself.
The theme is great. I learned so much about adult psychiatric hospitals in a fun way plus I haven't read any book from this environment yet, which made this book experience even more special. This book truly shifted my point of view on psychiatric hospitals and when a book does that, then it's a good book.
The lines are:
„And I hate boys.“ she says.
„But a guy's different,“ I say.
„Maybe a little,“ she says.
The ending was beautiful and hopeful. I wish I knew if things truly worked out, but perhaps sometimes I just have to let myself believe that things will work out. Nothing bad to say about the ending.
I'm content with this book. I was great, slow and smart. I didn't give it five stars, because it didn't make me cry and the story was quite simple in my opinion. Those aren't bad things, but for me, they are necessary to give the book five stars.
