^ It's huge, in case you couldn't see. Rofl.



Anyway... yeah.
This book, is a great book. For anyone who has ever been depressed, or thought they were depressed, or, hell... for anyone who's just even been REALLY SAD can understand the kid in this book.

It's about a kid who moves to the city, particularly, right next to the Brooklyn Bridge. He gets accepted into this High School were you practically have to have a 4.0 or HIGHER to even be considered being accepted in.

He meets this guy, Aaron, who becomes his best friend.
Aaron is smart, and has this girlfriend, who the main character, Craig, likes.

However, Aaron does drugs and smokes pot.
So Craig gets into smoking pot. His classes start becoming too hard for him and he gets stressed. He can barely keep food down when he eats.
His doctors put him on Zoloft, he gets off of it, and starts to go to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge...

Though I won't go any further, I'll spoil it.

But I have to say, it's extremely funny, it actually makes you laugh out loud (I did during State Testing!), and it's just a pleasure to read.
Hell, I'd read it again.
I seriously recommend it.



"Mom said to never to do drugs. It's a choice, and it's a choice where you always have to say no.
Though my dad sat I could go off and do drugs after SATs.
Then mom got really mad at dad." -- Craig.




And if you like it enough, there's a second book, and though it's kinda crappy, it's still worth a shot.
It's called Be More Chill.

Yeah, I got freshman kids that will look over my shoulder to see what I'm reading and yell stuff out. neutral

Dude, I freaking love that book.
I saw it a couple of weeks ago when I was at the library, and I was reminded about how someone mentioned it on this guild.
I really need to get it and re-read it.
