I keep accidentally deleting my review of this book somehow so I will say just this: It's good. It took me a bit to get used to Chbosky's writing but the characters feel real which is rare to find. I didn't want it to end and still feel connected to it in a special way. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.

DNF. This felt weird to read. If I read it back in the day, I'm sure I would have liked it better. But seen through a 2024 lens, I'm not a fan.

it felt like a sin to not really like this book but truly i was so bored until i was suddenly sobbing at the end

I find myself taking a long look at my life now that this book is over. The amount of emotions dredged up has left me feeling adrift and feeling like I need to take a deep look at myself.
