So incredibly heartfelt and touching. Very much a book I WISH I'd read when I was a teenager because of just how deeply it would have affected me, but better late than never. The depth and complexity of emotions and the sheer amount of LOVE packed into these pages blew me away.

3.0

I can see why so many people love this but for me, it was just okay. Loved the character development and the families' dynamics. Loved the coming of age storyline and discovering/acknowledging/accepting of one's self but it didn't totally grab me or wow me or leave a big impact on me like it has for others.
