That was emotionally ravaging. I don't know what I was expecting... I guess maybe something more smoothed-over like Heartstopper? But I'm glad it isn't. I needed this book when I was a teenager. I'm happy kids have it now. 

I've read some of her later work and I can see how she has improved as a writer. But this is a damn good start.
