This was an amazing book. It was told in the perfect way in the character development was great too.

  The ending though? I did NOT see that coming. I knew it was supposed to be a sad book, but it still took me a surprise.<spoiler/> The ending was nicely bittersweet too. It was a great story about second chances. And as the book only has nine chapters, I think the author did that on purpose, just to show that life never always finishes where it’s expected to.

Omg , indication of what a safe space and nurture can do to change a life. Heartbreaking how circumstances can alter someone’s life so drastically to which they don’t deserve. Ending was shocking but the very end was so sentimental. If you like perks of being a wallflower I think you may like this .
