Case Study
It’s all about perspective, or so university student Jesse Hanover longs to believe when he rejects his tragic history in pursuit of a quest to define himself and make sense of the convoluted universe he perceives. But as the tenuous structure of his newly forged life crashes down around him, he plunges deeper into uncertainties about destiny, family, love, and purpose. The shadows of his dark past quickly emerge with each spiraling event, shoving him toward the seemingly inevitable future he refuses to accept.
In a nearby psychiatric hospital, a rebellious patient finds his monotonous therapy escalating into blatant abuse. Michael’s trials also force an examination of his claustrophobic world and the people in it, launching him on a blind struggle against the conspiratorial forces controlling his fate.
Both young men contain an internal strength and engaging wit that make them reluctant victims and attract a spectrum of supporting characters ranging from sincere love interests to sadistic villains. As they fight to survive increasingly sinister, parallel trajectories, their stories ultimately intersect in what becomes an exploration of destiny, identity, and the inevitable self-examination brought on by tribulation.

This book had me hooked throughout, but I HATED the ending! There's no closure. It's so frustrating! lol I'm almost mad that I read this book.
Edit to my post:
I shouldn't have written my review right after I read the book. LOL I was glued to the pages as the ending neared and couldn't turn them fast enough so I was a little upset when the book just ended. It leads you in a way to know, hopefully, how it ends, but it wasn't enough for me so that's why I gave a harsh review the first time. I was so sad it was over!

Great book, well written. It also had a surprise ending. I would love to see more from this author. The last page threw me a bit. Wasn't sure what point the author was trying to make. Hopefully there will be a follow up book to this one.

This book is brilliantly written! I am pumped about a sequel. but I understand the way the author ended the story! Perception is key. I loved this book! I loved the characters! 5 stars from me!
