From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book about a boarding school called Rainer’s with unusual methods and even more unusual residents. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I’m interested to see how a romance plot would fit in with the dark themes of at-risk teens. Sounds interesting though!

A novel that revolves around a group of teens living together. It is an eye opening novel that focuses on mental health with a mix of drama and romance.

Rainier seems like a very busy please as everyone has something to deal with. I really look forward to reading about all this drama, combined with a romantic life.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I’m not a huge fan of romance or coming to age stories, so I will pass on this book, but I appreciate the detailed and glowing review of this novel!

In Unsound by Ash Finley, the lifestyle issues and the impact they cause on the health of people seem to have been incorporated into this fabulous story. I liked the idea of the healing process and how it emphasizes facing the truth.

Coming of age books are always a fun read, and this premise adds an unusual layer to the trope. I'm not too sure about the romance part, as they sometimes tend to be over the top, but it seems to not be a problem here. Great review!

I like reading young adult books and this one really intrigues me because with my background in studying juvenile psychology I think I will really like to see how all the different story lines develop. Congrats on getting BOTD!

Post by Bettny Andrade »

From my point of view it seems like a very promising novel. Touch personal issues for the protagonists, and the stages they went through to overcome.

In addition, the themes of each character are diverse, and the author covers all the points of the plot.

Thank you very much for your review.

We have seen many coming-of-age novels, and most of them involve some love-triangle that makes the story... boring and repetitive. I am glad there is more to this book than that, I am excited to read it.

It's really admirable how you captured every aspect in the book. I am really interested how the students heal from their issues at Rainer. Nice review. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

Definitely reading this soon!! I've always loved Young Adult books. I like the fact that the author touches subjects like eating disorders, depression, family drama and romance, as teenagers are struggling not only with this but so much more these days. Well done on an excellent review.

This book sounds interesting and intriguing as it delves into the 'darker' side of coming of age. Some people, including parents, may shy away from approaching this aspect of growing up, but it is crucial to maintain open communication with children on all subjects in order to guide them onto a relatively positive path. I can only imagine the thoughts and conversations that will unfold within the pages, considering the absence of parents and the presence of troubled teens. Thank you for the review!
