So here's the synopsis from Goodreads:
Extraordinary Means
by Robyn Schneider
From the author of The Beginning of Everything: two teens with a deadly disease fall in love on the brink of a cure.
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.

How gorgeous is that cover though? I'm really excited for this one because what the hell it's Robyn Schneider! I loved The Beginning of Everything and I hope I'll love Extraordinary Means too. Some sites or people (I forgot where I saw this.) say that it's "The Fault in Our Stars meets Eleanor & Park" and that sounds AWESOME and HEARTBREAKING. YAY NAY YAY!
Another reason why I'm excited for this one is Robyn Schneider's coming here in the Philippines! AHHHHHHHH Really, really stoked for her signing and can't wait to meet and see her in person. She's so pretty she makes me cry.
