Honestly thought I really wasn't going to like this with the first 15% of it. Vicki kind of annoyed me.

I think the brain elves was a good analogy!
Maddison wrote: "40% [spoilers removed]"It felt more like a character driven book than a plot based book, but I enjoyed it none the less. Once I started cheering for Vicki I couldn't stop!
Maddison wrote: "43% [spoilers removed]"OMFG I wanted to slap Barbara at this point. She made me so damn mad.
Maddison wrote: "I understand how they don't know why she doesn't know, but it's just the way it is. There is no explanation for depression"Wellllll technically most cases are explained by an imbalance of neurotransmitters but I know that's not what you meant XD

When Vicky Cruz wakes up in the Lakeview Hospital Mental Disorders ward, she knows one thing: After her suicide attempt, she shouldn't be alive. But then she meets Mona, the live wire; Gabriel, the saint; E.M., always angry; and Dr. Desai, a quiet force. With stories and honesty, kindness and hard work, they push her to reconsider her life before Lakeview, and offer her an acceptance she's never had.
But Vicky's newfound peace is as fragile as the roses that grow around the hospital. And when a crisis forces the group to split up, sending Vick back to the life that drove her to suicide, she must try to find her own courage and strength. She may not have them. She doesn't know.
Inspired in part by the author's own experience with depression, The Memory of Light is the rare young adult novel that focuses not on the events leading up to a suicide attempt, but the recovery from one - about living when life doesn't seem worth it, and how we go on anyway.
