I didn’t like the ending at all and I found the characters to be annoying at times, but still a good book that I wanted to keep reading. Not as good as conversations with friends though. 


2nd read:
This book has never hit more than it does now that I am in college. I used to not relate to this book, which made it more difficult for me to like, but now that I do, it’s so amazing. I relate to Connell so much in his experience freshman year of college. Being well liked in high school and then going to college and being no one special.
