I would have been absolutely obsessed with this book as a teenager. I feel like it is a must read for any high-schooler who puts pressure on themselves to get the best grades or who isn’t sure what they want to do after they leave school. It was a tense yet beautiful story that explored so many themes but never once felt rushed. True friendships blossomed, uniqueness was celebrated, sexual identities were explored, school and home pressures were tackled. There were cliff hangers and “omg WHAT” moments that I really enjoyed, paired with a happy ending - that’s my kind of story!
Moderate: Child abuse and Emotional abuse
Minor: Animal death
