Extraordinary Means
By Robyn Schneider
Publication Date: May 26th 2015
At seventeen, overachieving Lane finds himself at Latham House, a sanatorium for teens suffering from an incurable strain of tuberculosis. Part hospital and part boarding school, Latham is a place of endless rules and confusing rituals, where it's easier to fail breakfast than it is to flunk French.
There, Lane encounters a girl he knew years ago. Instead of the shy loner he remembers, Sadie has transformed. At Latham, she is sarcastic, fearless, and utterly compelling. Her friends, a group of eccentric troublemakers, fascinate Lane, who has never stepped out of bounds his whole life. And as he gradually becomes one of them, Sadie shows him their secrets: how to steal internet, how to sneak into town, and how to disable the med sensors they must wear at all times.
But there are consequences to having secrets, particularly at Latham House. And as Lane and Sadie begin to fall in love and their group begins to fall sicker, their insular world threatens to come crashing down. Told in alternating points of view, Extraordinary Means is a darkly funny story about doomed friendships, first love, and the rare miracle of second chances.

Why Am I Waiting This Wednesday?
I am so excited for this book because I haven't actually read any book to do with tuberculosis and I just want to see what the life of a patient would be like. Also it looks like an exhilerating read I will always keep my eyes on!
Keep Reading,

This looks like a really interesting book! :D I have never read a book about tuberculosis, and I might want to check this one out as well now because I'm a little curious with the story! Thanks for sharing :D I've heard of a lot of good reviews on the author's other books, like The Beginning of Everything (which I yet have to read!).
