It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

            It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini is a hilarious yet touching novel. The book is about a suicidal teen named Craig who checks himself into the hospital after making a plan to kill himself. He became depressed after he was excepted to a prestigious school in NYC and the work overwhelms him. On top of that, his best friend Aaron is dating the girl he (thinks) he likes, and is also addicted to drugs. Craig doesn't tell anybody that he is depressed except for his family and Nia, Aaron's girlfriend, who is depressed as well. At the Hospital, Craig meets some very strange friends, and discovers the source of his problems.
            I would recommend this book to people who like comedy and romance. This book may be about depression, but isn't depressing in the slightest. It's actually very entertaining and is nearly impossible to put down.
