Teen Book Review: Get Well Soon by Julie Halpern


Get Well Soon by Julie Halpern
Reviewed by: Ashley, Gr. 8

Anna Bloom is depressed. She is so depressed that no one can bear to be near her and her parents decide to send her away to a mental hospital where she can get help with other people just like her. In her new environment Anna meets a strange roommate with a huge secret and a plastic baby???...She also meets a doctor who is monitoring her more closely with her obesity rather than her depression. Anna also gets acquainted with a shy, adorable boy who Anna secretly thinks like her. Anna is slowly starting to get the idea that life in a mental hospital might not be that bad and it might be a little bit better than what she expected. As she sees life through the cage of a hospital Ann begins to experience life a little bit differently. This book is very emotional and takes you on a roller coaster as you go through this very fast easy read.
