SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU: Peter Cameron: Farrar, Straus and Giroux: Young Adult: Fiction: 240 pgs.
This is a great young adult novel about an 18 year old Manhattanite who struggles with depression. He has been accepted to Brown, but is sure he doesn't want to go to college. He is fairly anti-social and recounts many of the painful and often funny interactions he has with those around him, including his family, work associates, and his therapist. Both teens and adults will enjoy this book and relate to the frustrations of an adolescent stumbling into adulthood.
