i love the format - there aren’t any specific chapters, it goes from quarter to quarter of a school year and whenever there is a change in topic it will be labeled with something that goes along with the topic

I first read this book in high school and it helped me through so much. I got the chance to re-read it for an elective class I’m taking in college focusing on YA novels and it def hit harder in a different way this time. It’s such an important for anyone going through depression, trauma or for anyone trying to understand someone who might be shutting down due to these things 🤍
