Also Mental Health and Friendship.
Okay, that's three things.
This book CURED my book slump. I found the writing easy to follow, and the characters are easy to tell apart since they have distinct personalities.
On the tag of the book, it said that it was Slow-paced but I didn't particularly find it slow. I finished it in less than a day.
The ending of this book. omg. I did not FUCKING SEE THAT HOLY SHIT THE PLOT TWIST??!?! TO DIE FOOOOOR
THE ENDING WAS CRAFTED SO WELL I COULD HARDY SEE THE WORDS DUE TO ALL THE TEARS MWAH MWAH MWAH
I can't exactly rate this book yet since I feel that I'm not in the right mind to rate it yet. (in a book hangover due to all the crying I did) But I highly recommend this book. Especially If you're looking for escapism (so did they), and a friendship/Family to fall for.
+I recommend Listening to "Keep Holding on" From Glee in the Climax. (From the title of the song you should know I'm referring to), Also "Somewhere Only We Know" is Also from Glee (I just prefer the glee version, sue me).

Review:
The first thing I want to say about this book was that I was not the target audience for it. While being an amazing read for an early adolescent, It didn't tick all the boxes I wanted/expected it to. Being a huge fan of Japanese Literature, I feel like this book could've used a lot more substance, the substance being violence maybe? or something devastating? The 'plot twists' were namesake and dull. This being said, this is definitely still an amazing book for the people it was actually written for.
