I really enjoyed it. It’s definitely the sort of book that can remind you how intense emotions are when you are 17. 

I started crying when Park’s dad let him go, and I didn’t stop until the last page.

It felt implicitly racist and fat phobic… the storyline was a good idea if it had it be executed better
