god this book is just absolutely incredible. originally, i thought this was going to b a gay love story, it isn't — it's something completely different, but beautiful. this story perfectly depicts how suicide is not the only way you can lose someone to depression.
although, this was not the gay romance i was hoping, it shows a blossoming relationship between 2 young teen boys who are both outcast in different ways. their relationship is absolutely beautiful & breathtaking. i truly did fall in love w sorhab & darius.
i highly suggest this book to anyone & i hope everyone gives it a read.
p.s. i may love the book, but darius calling masturbating "going number 3" is just completely unforgivable & he needs to stop. like pls, darius. never say that shit again.
