I've wanted to read this book for ages but I don't think I really ever understood how big of a cult classic it was and how big of an impact it has had on pop culture. It was fascinating to bump into phrases that I keep seeing and hearing all over social media that originated from this story. While it wasn't the most groundbreaking book I have ever read in my life, I think it would have been if I had read it fifteen years ago when I was still a teenager and topics that this book touched on were less explored in YA.
