I did enjoy this book and it made me cry and feel like i’m not doing enough in society. I’m subtracting a star because i’m dumb and had to reread a lot of pages lol. But overall i loved these characters, and i’m still upset that I couldn’t read Griffins letter to Robin fully :(

i dont have the words to express how this book made and still makes me feel. the sheer emotional impact is unparalleled. no review can do justice to this work of art
i've been gravitating towards anarchism for a couple of years but this book is just the nail in the coffin. oh and i also wanna quit grad school now
