I was absolutely absorbed in this book. It seemed to devour me, blurting into each and every one of my thoughts even after I had finished it, and when people ask me what my favourite read of 2015 is, I am almost certain this will be my favourite book of the year. The subject matter has potential to be very triggering, tackling subject matters that cause us to shy away and bend our heads, but if you feel you can handle that, I urge you to pick this up. It's brilliant, moving, funny, and gorgeously written.

it’s cool to get to see the stuff that wasn’t put into the movie! i really liked this book, the writing is awesome, the plot is cool, and although i already know how it ends bc i watched the movie i still enjoyed it a lot !!
A little more graphic than I would like, but I understand why it was necessary. I don't want to say I enjoyed it, because it was kind of a kick in the stomach, but I'm not sorry I read it.
