I read this book for the first time in middle school, and I had to reread it again. Never gets old, still the great story I remember it being, but with so many nuances I hadn’t picked up on at 13. An amazing read for people of all ages. The ONLY thing that takes this book down to 4.75 instead of 5 stars is Please read!
Spoiler
the fact that in the movie Liam says my favorite line ever: “I don’t care if you touch me and you know everything about me” and I had convinced myself it was in the book but it wasn’t and I was sad.Moderate: Emotional abuse and Sexual assault
Minor: Child abuse
