From the prologue it feels like this book is going to down the Girl, Interrupted/One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest route and give us an insight into the lives of a group on teenagers in the Walter J Freeman Adolescent Mental Health Unit, but it doesn't. Instead, it goes back in time and we follow the very different lives of 2 teenagers: Georgia Pack and Julius Adebisi; to the point were they eventually cross paths. The book deals with many issues including suicide, mental health, sexuality, prejudice, social activism and political corruption; there is at lot going on as the chapters alternate between Georgia and Julius, but it never feels scrappy or messy and the separate storylines are easy to follow. The book is well written and easy to read, the various topics are dealt with sensitively/appropriately. The open letter from the author at the start of the book, detailing his own mental health issues, really gives the book some gravitas too. All in all, this is an excellent YA novel that shouldn't be limited to just the YA market....
