ok number one WOW WTF I didn’t expect for this book to hit that hard. I definitely recommend it to anyone like ever. Though check TWs first! I read it at the library but I’m tempted to buy it for myself because I will most definitely read this again. I love how it pretty short in length. Took me forever to read though because of a book I have to read for school. Again I must say this book is amazing!
