Life is But a Dream by Brian James
4.0
Wandering through Sabrina's head was like walking through a magical wonderland filled with colors and sounds. She sees things almost in technicolor and her perception of the world is so vastly different from everyone else.
When the story starts, Sabrina is in the hospital and has been taking medication. She rarely speaks to anyone. In comes Alec, who takes her breath away and convinces her that it's the doctors who are wrong, not her.
She clings to Alec and stops taking her medication, because she really misses seeing the clouds move the way they do and she misses her perception of the world. Slowly, she starts going backwards in her treatment.
The story jumps around a lot from present to her memories, and as the story goes on, the reader starts to find out more and more about Sabrina's illness and just how it was affecting her life when her parents made the decision to put her into the hospital.
I devoured this book in one sitting because it was so easy to fall into Sabrina's life and see things through her eyes.
