4.0

Because this book won four awards, I assumed that I was going to thoroughly enjoy it. The storyline was easy to follow & I enjoyed the character development. However, I was able to figure out the plot of the story early on, which led to the book becoming one that I just wanted to hurry up and finish. This book would be perfect for any parent who has a teenage son that is trying to discover himself and who he really is.

This book cured my inner teenager :) 

Would’ve very much been a 5-star read but the laughter-heavy, dialogue-filled pages brought it down. Seriously, am I that melancholic or is everyone in this book laughing at anything and everything? And I’m still on the fence about that ending. Will be picking up the sequel though!

This book fucking ruined me. What an ABSOLUTE callout. But my god was it beautiful. Absolutely wonderful. So sweet and made me think a lot, which i really enjoyed. Beautiful work, kinda felt like torture but in the best way possible. I have never felt Such things over a book before. God damn.
