Though this book is far from perfect, it came to me in an important time in my life. It formed me, gave me hope, and showed there are books out there that I can relate to.

There is so much to love about the characters and events in this book. I LOVE Alaska Young! I’m not quite sure what the plot was or message behind it, and there were definitely some strange scenes in the book, but overall I couldn’t get enough of it.
