It was a really good book! „IT“ haha well… iykyk. It discussed a really harsh and brutal topic in a very accurate but not terrifying way. The book does a great job at putting some light on really dark topics and presenting hope and growth, trough the metaphor of a tree (wonderful btw), as the key solution for trauma.

thinking about how i read this book in 8th grade on a direct recommendation from my english teacher?? like i don't really regret it, even now i still find it pretty good, but also i was almost the same age as the protagonist is when i read this for the first time and i think that might have altered my brain chemistry in some way that probably wasn't very great
