She reluctantly flies to Maine, welcomed by Randy ( later she finds out he’s Dr. Prince the highness of castle in charge of the place. She thinks she can never please her so she’s punished by being sent to a boarding school for the troubled girls located in Maine but it is actually and literally a gothic castle in the middle of nowhere. She left her classes, giving up her college applications, fighting incessantly with her parents, having problems with her mother. Her grief hold her back to live her life. Moira Dreyfuss just lost her best and only friend who got beaten by cancer. Starting from grief, chronic depression, self-harm, eating disorders, loss of speech, trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder), alcoholism, drug addiction to PMS, we’re introduced so many different types of mental illness categories and those young hearts who are trying to survive as they have no idea how to deal with their pain. Those girls’ though fights, struggles to adjust in the real life, their pure pains, challenges they face shook me to my core. I want to congratulate the author for her realistic, objective approach to multiple mental illnesses young people carry on their shoulders bravely and her amazing characters whose names and tragic stories are already imprinted on my heart! But exploring the schools will force Moira to confront her overwhelming grief―and the real reasons her parents sent her away. Moira is convinced that the Castle Schools and the doctors who run them are hiding something.

There's another, very different, Castle School nearby―this one filled with boys whose parents sent them away, too. On her third, she and her roommate venture outside.and learn that they're not so isolated after all. On her second, she discovers the lock on her window is broken.

On her first night there, Moira hears distant music. But she isn't interested in getting over Nathan's death or befriending her fellow students.

At the Castle School, isolated from the rest of the world, Moira will be expected to pour her heart out to the odd headmaster, Dr. She knows her parents are punishing her she's been too much trouble since her best friend, Nathan, died―and for a while before that. When Moira Dreyfuss's parents announce that they're sending her to an all-girls boarding school deep in the Maine woods, Moira isn't fooled.
