It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

[~*Kim*~]

Craig is your typical teenaged boy, but is driven by his desire to get in to a top Manhattan pre-professional school. The stress of the school gets to him and he feels like he wants to commit suicide. Craig checks himself in to the local psychiatric hospital. This is where he meets many different people with many different issues.

I enjoyed this one, but not on the top of my list for the year. The story was good and the characters were relatable.
