Phenomenal. I felt like I grew up with these boys in the span of 3 days (which was exactly how quickly I read this book bc it was actually incredible.)

I really can’t stop thinking about this

I never expected to like a book with the storyline this one has, but it was a very interesting read. I had seen the film and thought that i might as well give the book a go. There were few differences, but that was fine for me. Very good book.

Haunting, devastating, and so important to me
