Phenomenal book, I understand now why it’s won so many awards. It was such a cute coming of age story and constantly had me in tears while I was reading it. It reminded me of Perks of Being a Wallflower in a way, but maybe that’s just me. I would say this is one of my favorite books that I have read and I can’t wait to read the sequel and watch the movie! I would highly recommend reading this and I’ll probably read more from the author because of this book.
