Synopsis

A heartbreaking yet uplifting story about a boy who has lost everything but finds new hope drawing in the shadows of a hospital.

Andrew Brawley was supposed to die that night, just like the rest of his family.

Now he lives in the hospital, serving food in the cafeteria, hanging out with the nurses, sleeping in a forgotten supply closet. Drew blends in to near invisibility, hiding from his past, his guilt, and those who are trying to find him. His only solace is in the world of the superhero he's created—Patient F.

Then, one night, Rusty is wheeled into the ER, half his body burned by hateful classmates. Rusty's agony is like a beacon for Drew, pulling them together through all their pain and grief. In Rusty, Drew sees hope, happiness, and a future for both of them. A future outside of the hospital, and away from their painful pasts.

But to save Rusty, Drew will have to confront death, and life might get worse before it gets better. And by telling the truth about who he really is, Drew risks any chance of a future . . . for both of them.

4,5 Kitapla ilgili söyleyeceğim ilk şey, karakterlerin ve onların bize yansıttığı duyguların çok gerçekçi olduğu. Hiçbiri güçlü değil. Olaylar karşısında verdikleri tepkiler, hissettikleri duygular, kurdukları cümleler o kadar içten ki. Onlarla birlikte hüzünlendim, gülümsedim, umutla doldum, kızdım.......more

Goodreads review by Cece

*4.5/5 I had a really hard time deciding between a 4 & a 4.5 but I feel fairly good about going with the slightly higher rating. This was incredibly emotional as a journey but didn't personally impact me emotionally until the very, very end so it was hard to gauge my feelings overall. How much I conn......more
