5.0

I cried so much reading this; the first half of the book sets up the characters you will spend the second half sobbing over. There are certainly dated elements (describing a specific reaction .gif, use of Tumblr and Facebook as though they're relevant to teens), but the overall plot unfortunately is as relevant as ever.

The only qualm I have with this book is that all the many characters and names became indistinguishable at some point. Powerful and moving stuff otherwise
