She tells her psychologist that she feels "healthy" for the first time. What will Sam discover about herself and her new friend that will cause her to question these feelings?
I loved the Glee like feel of Poets Corner and all the well developed characters there. The characters that are superficial in the novel - mainly the 8's, are superficial because they are that way i life, as well. I thought that this was a great book with a very poignant message. I loved the idea of small changes making a big impact and often in ways for other people that we never get to see. I look forward to reading more from this author. 4 out of 5 stars.
