At the beginning of this year I read Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. The book was amazing, I just couldn't seem to put it down. It was tragic yet beautiful with a poetic feel.
I cracked it open tonight to fish out some lit devices and found my airplane ticket from Colorado inside. A trip that I took myself, that meant the world to me. I truly love this book and encourage everyone to read it!
Here's a preview:
"Three tapestries, tattered at the edges and come unwoven to reveal a single mutual thread.
The Thread
Wish
you could turn off the questions, turn off the voices, turn off al sound.
Yearn
to close out the ugliness, close out the filthiness, close out all light.
Long
to cast away yesterday, cast away memory, cast away all jeopardy.
Pray
you could somehow stop the uncertainty, somehow stop the loathing, somehow stop the pain.
Act
on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest."
