Sweetblood by Pete Hautman
4.0
This book spoke to me on a number of levels. In high school, I was pretty much that self-destructive goth girl that the main character is. And now, I'm that self-destructive girl who suffers from a chronic illness and is totally fed up with it and how everyone acts about it.
My husband, who was/is none of the above, had a harder time connecting with the book, but still enjoyed it. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the ending (it gets kind of down on goths, which I'm not really okay with; goths are very "other" in this book). Over all, though, a good read. Especially if you have ever been even a little self-destructive.
