Description
After years of moving around following the death of her mom, Kirstie Maldonado is finally getting her life in order. She's following her dreams of becoming a Broadway star and her biggest concern is whether or not the boy she likes will ask her to the dance. Unfortunately, instead of an invitation to the dance, she gets harassed by ghosts. After she suffers a breakdown, her Aunt Isabella sends her off to Lyle House - a reputable, well-recommended group home. It seems like an okay place, despite Kirstie's fears of living with a constant, debilitating mental illness. But is Lyle House really as bright and chipper as it seems? And why won't her grumpiest housemate leave her alone? --------- Mitch Grassi doesn't eat anymore. He can't help it; every time he eats, he has to throw it up, so why bother? Unfortunately, starving yourself isn't exactly healthy, and after a few days of nothing but water and wheat crackers he collapses in the middle of English class. They slap on labels of 'anorexia' and 'bulimia' and force him into Lyle House, a group home for teens and young adults with mental health issues. Nobody will believe Mitch when he tells them that he isn't actually anorexic. Lyle House is a nightmare; most of the other kids are judgmental and rude, the decor is awful, and all the nurses and doctors are condescending and treat Mitch like a stupid kid. Not to mention the absurdly attractive roommate who seems like he belongs there about as much as Mitch does. [PTX AU / SCOMICHE / KAVI]
