Friendship and a crush in a mental health setting

Anna Bloom’s depression leads to a stay in a mental hospital alongside other teens. There, her daily life includes an unusual roommate, a doctor’s attention to her weight, and a shy boy who may return her interest. The premise brings together adolescent relationships and the challenges of being treated for depression, with humor identified in the publisher’s description as part of the book’s approach. The hospital setting places ordinary concerns—friendship, body image, and a possible crush—alongside the realities of mental health care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about depression and mental health care.
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining hospital settings with friendship and romantic interest.

Book overview

Anna Bloom is depressed -- so depressed that her parents have committed her to a mental hospital with a bunch of other messed-up teens. Here she meets a roommate with a secret (and a plastic baby), a doctor who focuses way too much on her weight, and a cute, shy boy who just might like her.

But wait! Being trapped in a loony bin isn't supposed to be about making friends, losing weight, and having a crush, is it?

Get Well Soon, Julie Halpern's fiction debut, finds humor in the unlikeliest of places, and presents a character whose voice -- and heart -- will resonate with all of us who have ever felt just a little bit crazy.
