Immediately became one of my favourite books, I started reading it and could not put it down - finished within two days. Made me feel extremely emotional, I ended up crying in a Tesco cafe whilst waiting for a lift (the last book I remember crying at I read in primary school). I could not recommend this book enough, the writing style is easy to read and the characters are lovable - even if the setting is horrific.
