I went in blind, and I wasn't ready. 

If not for some unfortunate stereotypes and slurs used and the gratuitous sex, it would have been a slam dunk five stars- the audiobook specifically. I think I would have hated this book in print. 

Check TW's; I would not recommend this book if you use reading to escape. 

The last 40 minutes hit so hard, I had to take my headphones out because I was on the threshold of tears. 

I get why it's been adapted twice; I imagine you could do some pretty cool stuff via film with this premise. 

I'm not gonna get over this for a while. Sheesh.

I can finally say that the movie was better, and that's because they left out or altered 75% of what was in the book.
