yet another book i am so wildly annoying about… the older i’ve gotten the more i’ve found this book to be heart wrenchingly relatable. it’s quietly beautiful and it made me feel a lot less alone at a time where i needed that. will never not have endless amounts of love for it.

I really enjoyed reading this book in high school. It was a sweet coming-of-age story about making friends who love you for you.

One of my favourite books; a treat to re-read. I love it so much and it feels so comfortable to read it. It makes me feel so seen and accepted - even when I don’t relate to the characters I feel like I can bring my whole self to this book.
