À propos de cet ebook
“Bawdy, witty, and sarcastic . . . [an] irreverent take on mental health, recovery, and wellness” from the authors of Notes from the Blender (Booklist).
After his parents’ divorce, Justin is on rocky mental ground. But when a handful of Tylenol lands him in the hospital, he has really hit rock bottom.
A scandalous photo of Emmy leads to vicious rumors around school, but things get worse when she threatens the boy who started it all on Facebook.
Justin and Emmy arrive at Heartland Academy, a reform school that will force them to deal with their issues. Along the way they will find a ragtag group of teens who are just as broken, stubborn, and full of sarcasm as themselves.
A funny, sad, and remarkable story, A Really Awesome Mess is a journey of friendship and self-discovery.
“A journey of self-discovery coupled with humorous teen antics, as well as overcoming personal obstacles. This book touches on relevant teen issues such as cyberbullying, adoption, eating disorders, anger problems, suicide, and depression. It offers hope to those who are facing some of these same issues.” —Library Media Connection(starred review)
