i saw the netflix trailer and got really excited for the movie. i went down to the comments and when i found out it was a book i immediately started reading an e-book of it. i never wanted to put this book down and was very disappointed when i had to stop for class. i can’t remember feeling this intentional, specific anger from a book since i read the hate u give and that’s saying A LOT. it was a great read start to finish and i’m really excited for the movie adaptation coming out in march. seeing as amy poehler read the book i’m hoping she doesn’t diverge from the plot too much.
