It’s such a comfort read especially for teenagers. It feels like you grow up with the characters and learn from their mistakes. It also touches topics like mental illness and sexuality which nearly every teen has to deal with at some point. You’ll feel less alone then or at least I did :)
I love this book more then anything and it perfectly captures the experience of growing up and being a teenager

I think this is one of those books you should definitely read at least once as a teen. As an adult I was definitely reacting differently to some moments -
It's kind of ridiculous how many content warnings I just applied to this book, but I also think that's one of the reasons this is an important read for teens. That this book is written in the form of letters helps lower the intensity of these subjects/make them easier for the reader to handle, but things still get pretty emotional.
