Impulse ~ (1st Quarter Book Summary)

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins is novel that consists of a total of 666 pages.  The story consists of three main characters Conner, Vanessa, and Tony who are placed in a institution for their mentally instability.  The novel consists of three P.O.V's for each character at the institution that enables the readers to understand why they came to Aspen Springs and their emotional struggle as they try to make themselves "whole." While in Aspen Springs Conner, Vanessa, and Tony encounter each other and become close while in the institution; learning from each others past experiences and moral thoughts. Their friendship helps them gain a better knowledge of life, and what life can be if you have a better mindset on your future and why things happen. I liked this book because it was poetic and intense. This book gave a insight of how people with depression feel and how it affects their life drastically . Overall, Ellen Hopkins is my top five authors and her writing skills are symbolic when it comes to a lot of mental illnesses.
