This might be the best book I’ve ever read up to this point in my life. And I’ve never been so destroyed. But I don’t know if I could ever read it again because of how much it destroyed me. The one thing I did not like was when

Lenny got manipulated into confessing!! Like she should have known and I felt the whole plot point was unnecessary.

but despite that, I can’t give it less than 5 stars.

nrogers_1030's review against another edition

I didn't care for *any* of the characters except Large Marge so I've had trouble sticking with the book. 
Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future 🤷🏻‍♀️
