Act
On your impulse,
Swallow the bottle,
Cut a little deeper,
Put the gun to your chest.
Ellen Hopkins is one of my favorite authors. She has a very elegant way with her words as se shapes her stories into poetry.
Impulse was no different. Conner, Tony, and Vanessa are three teenagers who's lives never crossed until now. Just like all the rest of Hopkins' novels these characters go through some really trying things. She covers suicide, murder, depression, cutting, being gay, sexual abuse, physical abuse abortion and bi polar disorder. Real issues that not many authors are brave enough to cover in the way Hopkins does.
It's a great story but I would grab your tissues before you get to the end!
I give this story a 4 out of 5 rating.
Enjoy!
