Impulse

Three teens. One “treatment” center. Different issues, mental strains and heart pains. Take a trip in the mind of Connor, Tony and Vanessa as they reveal their tortured thoughts, heartbreaking secrets and open themselves to the vulnerabilities that brings home who they really are...

Holy cow...this was certainly a thought-provoking, sweet and yet devastating read. I saw the ending coming but that didn't make it any less painful to read.

I haven't read anything by Ellen Hopkins before but I'm telling you this is just the beginning. I know most won't enjoy it or appreciate an entire book written in verse but I absolutely loved it. If you want something different and outside what you're used to but at the same time want it to be sincere....raw....this is that book.

Reading rush 2019- Book 2
3.5 stars!
I was going to rate this 2.5 stars but the ending changed my mind and nearly made me cry.
I never want to think of this book bc I might cry but I still have the sequel to read so what are the chances of me crying when reading the next book? 99%

I am moving along nicely in my read everything Hopkins has written self challenge. I did bog down a little with this one. I just did not care for any of the characters. It was not bad, I just did not love it like I loved Burned.
I found the three voices very hard to keep straight in my mind (all of the back stories and what not). I am not really pumped that Perfect is going to be about Cara, Connor's sister.

At first glance I was not to sure about the whole idea of the format of this book. However, I was quite incorrect by judging this book before I read it. Ellen Hopkins doesn't hold back at all and I truly appreciate that. I've known so many who have gone through some of the same issues she discussed in this book and I was able to see their mindset a little bit clearer. I would recommend this to any reader, I've even sent a copy to my sister who never reads but I know she'll love this for the format and the content.

Really great. I loved all the characters, except that Dahlia person. Hated her. And I kept wishing for Vanessa to get with Conner, just because I think that would've kept him from trying(and succeeeding) to commit suicide and I felt really sorry for him. But I'm glad all the characters ended up happy, even Conner because he was happy that he died..
