(Reread) Such an incredible book that dives into difficult to discuss topics. It brings to light many struggles that younger people go through. I found myself lost in the character’s world every time I picked up the book, and had a hard time putting it down!

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

I wasn’t the target age/audience for this book. It’s a coming of age novel with a character wallowing in loneliness… I’ve overcome that stage in my life (i hope 😭). I thought the subject of SA would be important to read about, but I think I need a different story for that.
