If any of you have ever heard of Ellen Hopkins (author herself), she gave some insight on this book and shared her own personal knowledge with this author, Albert Borris. I read this book one day a work and it was a bit bizarre to be completely honest. I was good no doubt, just different than the perky romance stories I'm used to reading. This book is about four teens who have all attempted suicide yet failed and are now on a road trip to see the grave sites of their idols who have committed suicide as well. Once they see all four graves, their journey is said to end in Death Valley, CA...I'm sure you know what they plan on doing there; therefore I won't need to say the gruesome truth. These four teens share their stories with each other along the way. The hardships of their lives, their attempts to take themselves from this Earth, all the pain and suffering behind what the public eye sees. It may be a little depressing, but it has its happy and cheery (if you can call them that) moments as well.
