Reviewing this book is hard because, when I read this book it was world changing for me. It made me think deeper about, quite literally, everything. It put so much into perspective in my world and has actually given me coping strategies for struggles I’ve had in my own life. I sobbed reading this book, I got angry and threw the book across the room and I laughed so so hard as well!! And isn’t that what a good book does? But I can also see why others criticise this book for edging on being exploitive and being deeply pretentious. And in my mid-twenties this book does not have re-readability.
However, I would 1000% recommend this for all teens to read. It truly is made for teenagers and taps into something honest and accurate to the experiences of all teenagers despite the situation of the main characters. It is a new perspective not given in mainstream books series and I think is an essential read, for the conversations it sparks, if not for the actual enjoyment of the book. (But is that the sign of a good book?) (are books their content or their impact??) (like honestly i don’t know someone tell me pls).
And weirdly the same goes for the movie, i was FERAL over it and now I cannot watch it without wincing at times…

I had a good time but I probably won’t remember much in a couple months. I’m glad I read this and I can finally tell people I have. Cute book, had all the feels. 4 Stars.
