This is by far the best book I have ever read. It is so relatable as a teenager, someone in highschool, someone struggling with mental illness, and etc. The characters are flawed, and I think that's what makes the book so much more relatable. It shows how imperfect people really are. I think the friendships/relationships in this book are so interesting, and the novel is overall something that I find causing me to reflect a lot on myself. I would recommend this book to someone who needs to feel like they're "not alone" and desires to be understood.
