THIS BOOK IS NOT MIDDLE GRADE!!! It is maybe 13 and but I would say 14 is youngest. It is HEAVY and deep. It will leave you numb, it throws you through loops, and it is NOT lighthearted. Yet,  this is still a pretty amazing book, but you have been warned.

This books seems slow and tame to start, but it is not. It is so sad but the writing is incredibly beautiful and gives meaning to the story in an incredible way. Not for the faint of heart/

This book put me in a reading slump - I was confused and the plot was slow and uninteresting. I felt most of the time I was trying to force myself to read it. After Part 4 (150 pages in) the plot finally picked up and I did enjoy it but I think this book was overhyped for what it was.

With a book this popular, I had very high expectations… and they were met. 

Beautiful and unique book I will re-read every summer.

I actually liked it quite a bit more than I expected to. 

By the way this review won't be long because I finished it 2 minutes ago and I can't even-

I knew it had a plot twist but thats not what I was expecting... at all.
