About this eBook
John Green's The Fault in Our Stars meets Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park in this darkly funny novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Beginning of Everything.
Up until his diagnosis, Lane lived a fairly predictable life. When he's sent to Latham House, a boarding school for sick teens, Lane thinks his life may as well be over.
But when he meets Sadie and her friends - a group of eccentric troublemakers - he realises that maybe getting sick is just the beginning. That illness doesn't have to define you, and that falling in love is its own cure.
Robyn Schneider's Extraordinary Means is a heart-wrenching yet ultimately hopeful about true friendships, ill-fated love and the rare miracle of second chances.

Instantly fell in love with this E-book. Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider follows Sadie and Lane while at Latham House, a boarding school for sick teens. Lane thinks his life may as well be over. But when he meets Sadie and her friends he realises that maybe getting sick is just the beginning. That illness doesn't have to define you, and that falling in love is its own cure. Overall I loved this book. I fell in love with all the characters and got way too emotionally attached to them. Getting to picture how these characters lived and survived in this world was so different from everything else I've read and I loved it. Would highly recommend reading as it is honestly the best book I've read in a while.
