5.0

required reading for anyone in their 20's. so beautiful and thought provoking without being pretentious or minimizing day-to-day struggles. thoroughly relatable, emotional, and heart warming. i also loved that, despite the heavy themes of the book, the author also incorporated silly little drawings and moments throughout the story without undermining the themes or making the humor feel forced. just perfect.
