Representaion As Books Impulse (Impulse #1)
Sometimes you don't wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same.Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act—suicide.
Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade.
Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills.
And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself.
In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun—and tried to end it all. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other's help, they can find their way to a better life—but only if they're strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place.

**YES PLEASE**This book was amazing... At first I thought that the story would be hard to understand or that the world would make less sense since this book is all in free verse, but I loved the writing style and the way the words were projected towards us. Yes, the story was dark and the characters were depressing, but I really loved it and was completely entranced in it the whole way through. I got attached to the characters so quickly and just wanted more and more of their stories, allMan, this book was breathtakingly beautiful. It was sad, happy, angry,depressed and anything else you can think of.Man, it was so awesome!Vanessa. She was said to have red hair. Everyone thinks she beautiful and sweet. And I agree. She fall in love with a guy named Trevor who broke up with her. Trevor got Vanessa pregnant, Trevor wanted nothing to do with the baby. SO she got an abortion. Her mom had BPD and gave it to her. Her dad is never home. So the only option, to cut. She gets caught and
Yet another teen fiction author who was never a teen herself. This book probably would have been good if the teenagers had acted like teenagers!"What's it like?" I ask. "Making love to someone?"Vanessa takes my hand. "I thought I knew, once or twice before, but now I see there was no love at all between us. I won't know until I make love to you."Gag me with a spoon! Ellen! Come on, these are seventeen year old kids! Let's get real, please. No teenager talks like that. Not even seriously
Edgy 14 y/o me would've eaten this up for sure. Tbh I kind of miss when YA was allowed to be this messy and dark
3.5 starsThis is the third book by this author that I've read. The first one was 2 stars and the second was 3. Her books are not for everyone. She writes sad, gritty stories about all sorts of dysfunction and messed up youth. I've noticed two common themes that run through all of her stories: drug use and insta-love. The characters were damaged and needy, which explains the holes they needed to fill. Drugs, as well as a host of other things, plagued the youth in this book. And so did insta-love.
Impulse is a very short, but very powerful story.Ellen Hopkins is known for tackling those tough issues that are shocking to read about, but are particularly more disturbing when they are about such young people. Three characters lives intersect at a mental health facility, and at first the story is mostly about each one and how they landed there. The story soon shifts gears, and it becomes more about the bond these characters created. We read on, wondering if they will be able to help each
