I can always count on this book as a re-read to make me feel feelings. And it definitely hits different as a parent.

I feel like this book has changed me in some way, but I don’t really know what that way is yet.

I don't remember the last time I read a book that has made me cry, even after finishing the last few pages.

At first, Jesse Aarons was not a well-liked character. I thought he was dull and small-minded until I kept on reading. Then did  I understood why he was the way he was. I actually grew to like him in the end. 
As for Leslie, I loved her imagination and the way she helped Jesse to slowly be himself without feeling shunned and an outcast.
I admired their friendship, even if it was short lived.
