Oh my god, this was such a beautiful read. I was honestly moved and felt so much empathy with X, despite not having a similar upbringing at all. I was moved both by beautiful writing and great story. Even if you don't like YA, please read this book.
Also, the matches... Never has my jaw dropped liked that.
