Get Well Soon - Tapa blanda

"I completely fell in love with Anna Bloom's voice--it's wry, romantic, and so, so true." --Gabrielle Zevin, author of Elsewhere

"An upbeat story that offers a hype-free, realistic look inside a teen ward . . . As the novel progresses, readers will get a kick out of Anna's snarky sense of humor and her capacity for self-renewal." --Publishers Weekly

"[Anna] is endearing as a caustic damsel in distress. With Anna down the hall, landing in the 'loony bin' just might be a whole lot of fun." --Chicago Tribune

"A funny novel about depression. That's the welcome, endearing product Julie Halpern offers readers . . . a never-didactic message about emotional growth and psychic healing." --Kirkus Reviews Best Young-Adult Books 2007

"Debut author Halpern drew from her own teen experiences with depression, and Anne's voice, filled with spot-on musings, sarcasm, slang, and swearing, is uproariously funny and authentic . . . Many teens will connect with the vague anxiety that lands Anna in treatment as well as her subtle, realistic sense that her life is her own to value and shape." --Booklist

." . . funny, easygoing prose . . . an appealingly comic cousin of Carolyn Mackler's The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things." --Kirkus Reviews

"There is a lovely sweetness in the blooming relationship between Anna and Justin . . . Halpern creates a narrative that reflects the changes in Anna with each passing day that includes self-reflection and a good dose of humor. Readers will cheer for Anna as she gains confidence in herself, dares to rebel a little, and gets well as she goes back to her life." --VOYA
