This book has changed my brain
It’s such a comfort read especially for teenagers. It feels like you grow up with the characters and learn from their mistakes. It also touches topics like mental illness and sexuality which nearly every teen has to deal with at some point. You’ll feel less alone then or at least I did :)

I love this book more then anything and it perfectly captures the experience of growing up and being a teenager
