I cannot describe in words how much i love this book. I need more people to read it. Just do yourself a favour and read it with a friend. Otherwise you will explode. I read this with a friend and she thanked me so much.
This book is entirely character based. Do not expect to understand worldbuilding or plot until later in the book. The dialugues and proze are next level amazing. I cannot describe how amazing and real the characters feel. This is *the* definition of coming of age.
Everybody needs to experience this book, especially teens, especially gifted kids, but everyone. Do yourself a favor, get a friend, and read it together.
I have never saved so many passages in my life. You will want these words and situations forever in your brain.
And it's so gay.
