It was a beautiful read, so sad but heartwarming at the same time. I read it in a day, i couldn't put it down. The reading style was perfect and the characters will stay in my heart for sure.

This is often a required book to read in school but I never took a class that required it. 

A solid read. A dark, coming-of-age with death, violence, truth, and reality.

Afternoon/evening listen today, trying to get back into reading after a hiatus. I can see why many people read it in school, classic teenage story. Did shed a tear. A good classic and quick read.
