The way I am sobbing on my kitchen floor at 11pm because of this book. Everything the book dealt with hit so hard and genuinely it’s going to take me a while to process everything this book made me feel. Even though was published 12 years ago the story and the message still feel just as realistic and important. The writing was beautiful and the formatting made everything flow so smoothly in a way the enhanced everything I was feeling.
Graphic: Suicide, Suicide attempt, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Homophobia
