Impulse

Three messed up kids all with very different problems who by fate have all ended up in the same hellhole called Aspen Springs. Aspen Springs is a rehab center to put kids who have messed up there lives back on track. Tonys painfull childhood memories can only be comforted by pills. Vanessa cuts and has a dark secret that must be confronted before the pain willl end. Connor has the life some kids would kill for, straight A+'s, tons of friends and money and is perfectly unhappy.

Impulse is a thrilling novel that goes deep into the human mind that will shock your right down to the finall page. The unique, poetic writing style makes this book a very intersting read and i would highly reccomend it to the appropriately mature audience.
