This is a book that the world rly wants you to read. Book clubs, schools, the internet, all of them. I avoided it for quite a long time and, frankly, I shouldn’t have. They were right. It’s short and beautiful in its prose and message. The way it’s written is so real and the voice is easy to get lost in. I was rly caught between giving this three and a half stars or four. I would argue that it does deserve four stars, but I felt that it took too much time in some places and not enough in others. Either way, this is a short short read and I highly recommend it.
