4.0

I love this story so, so much. 
A good-written, and - for me - nostalgic read from when I saw the movie a few years back. And I have to say, the movie did a phenomenal job. This might be the first film-adaptation ever that really translated the book to an equally good movie. This coming-of-age story is unlike others I've read, but in its simplicity a touching story came through. 
Highly recommend.

The movie has been a favorite of mine for years. The story is pretty much the same but I found the book to be incredibly reflective which added even more depth to the story. A sad and charming story.

the misogyny is there but is clearly stated to be bad in the next chapter. there are multiple ableist, racist, and homophobic slurs in this book.
