I love this book so incredibly much. It’s important to remember that you are never alone in your struggles. Someone has felt the same way you are feeling, even if they never admitted it to someone or themselves.

Top tier YA even after all these years

It was interesting reading this for the first time as an adult and reflecting on the themes and plot-points I couldn’t quite understand at 14

Specifically noticed what a beautiful reflection this is on masculinity 

Also 1) Logan Lerman really did nail it aaaand 2) I have to read Catcher in the Rye again now
