Chloe is just an ordinary teenager... or so she thought. All of the sudden Chloe can see ghosts. This happens in school and it makes her freak out. Which in turn, lands her in a home for "disturbed" teens called Lyle House. There she is told that she cannot really see ghosts but has hallucinations caused by schizophrenia. All Chloe wants to do is get better so she can get out. There she meets some other kids that are there for different reasons. All have been diagnosed with one problem or the other. As they start to get to know each other they start finding that Lyle House isn't really what it seems to be and maybe they are not really getting the help that they need.
This was a fun and easy read. The book kept me entertained all the way to the end. It had a quick pace with enjoyable characters. I think the only problem I had with the book was the confrontations between Chloe and Derek. At the beginning it was believable but after awhile it seemed too drawn out. Chloe was supposed to be this all around nice girl yet she was always so rough on Derek. At the beginning he seemed like a jerk but after a while, when he was trying to be nice, Chloe was still hard on him which kind of seemed out of character for her. With that said, it was still an enjoyable book. Warning: the book leaves on a cliff-hanger. So if you get halfway through this book and you are liking it, you might want to run out and get the 2nd one so you have it handy.
