Its a really good book. I liked that the characters were not written to be love able but in some parts i hated them. (Miles was just annoying 99% of the time tho). It contains topics that might be triggering so make sure to check the tw before you read it.

Probably one of my top 20 books that I read in high school. I reread it often and enjoy it every time. Love the Hulu adaptation of this book as well.
