This book starts out appearing to be a story about one thing but then turned out to be something completely different.  I thought it was insightful, and reminds you that sometimes you don't really know people as well as you think.   Loved the music references, not sure how I feel about the religious ones.. but it is a complex book that leaves one with complex thoughts afterwards.

there are many intense subjects broached in this book, despite that, it is a hopeful book that reminds teens that while the world may feel against them at times, there are allies. Even though they are sometimes difficult to find.

This was one of the hardest and most moving books I've read in recent memory. I am so glad I finally picked it up and even happier to have listened to it.
