![]() ![]() I loved Anna’s smart sense of humor, her refusal to be anyone other than herself and her willingness to like a wide variety of people. Can he possibly be as cool as she thinks he is? And does he like her too? Halpern has done an amazing job in creating a cast of very real characters from Anna’s room mate who keeps her boyfriend by putting her own spin on the truth to the boy Anna just can’t get out of her mind. There Anna must deal with her very real anger, her imagined defenselessness and an absolutely adorable mental patient who just may like her as much as she likes him. Not knowing any other way to help her, Anna’s parents send her first to a counselor and then dump her in a mental hospital. It doesn’t come across so much as a choice but more a simple inability to cope with pressures she faces day to day. But problems arise when Anna can no longer go to school.
