Tamar is admitted to Lime Grove, a psychiatric hospital for teenagers.
Lime Grove is home to a number of teenagers with a variety of problems: anorexia, bipolar disorder, behavior issues. Tamar will come to know them all very well. But there's one question she can't... won't answer: What happened to her friend Iris? As Tamar's emotional angst becomes more and more clear to her, she'll have to figure out a path to forgiveness. A shocking, moving, and darkly funny depiction of life in a psychiatric world.
A stunning journey of one girl's mental illness and the redemptive power of truth and healing.

Praise for On a Scale of One to Ten
* " Rock bottom is always far lower and far darker than you think. An important book and a very impressive, ultimately hopeful, treatment of mental illness." — Kirkus (starred review)
