I wish I had read this book in middle school so I could fully appreciate it as the desired audience. I also wish I had read the book before watching the movie (although I did enjoy the movie more and it had a few differences in details). I think I would have enjoyed it more. All in all, I enjoyed the story of two teenagers and their journey together, and even as an adult, it makes you truly question your beliefs and, in my case, reaffirm them and inspire me for the future. To not take life for granted. For that, I would recommend this book.
