a really interesting book I would say. several days have passed since I read it and still I don't think I have processed it fully. very sad, very touching, the dialogue was beautiful and the characters easy to feel for and care about. 

the only thing I didn't like (because it made me uncomfortable) was the extensive sexual scene, as the characters involved were really young.

I recommend it.
