Impulse by Ellen Hopkins is one of few novels that have touched my heart and reached my soul. She captures three teens’ perspectives of messed up lives perfectly.
It is set in present day Nevada in a psychiatric hospital. The three teens are Vanessa, Tony, and Conner, each with their own deadly secret. Vanessa cuts herself, Tony shot himself, and Conner is in love with his teacher. When they end up entering the hospital their lives begin to intertwine.
Ellen’s detail and way of poetic writing makes it hard to put it down. You will be drawn to these teens’ stories and will miss them when the novels over.
