While reading this book, I wanted to go back in time and gift this book to my 12-14yo self, because she would have loved it. As an adult, my eyes were too jaded to read some parts and not read between the lines. I found the book intriguing, if a little singularly focused on Christopher. The book is very character-driven, and does a great job at it. I had fun reading it, but won't really recommend it to someone as a "must-try".
