Incredible read. I can’t remember the last time I read a book that felt so easy to read, that I felt so at home reading that I always had it on my mind. Really beautiful and poignant and real. It felt like I was there with this kid and the end note with the “extra letter” had tears dripping down my face instantly. Absolutely beautiful book

• Loveable characters? No

I just knew this book was going to have a high rating and I was right. This book was triggering for me for so many reasons. This book depresses me every time I think about it, and it is thanks to this book that I know to skip the movie. Young adult - realistic fiction - coming-of-age stories are definitely not my thing.
