I loved this book. Did i love that this was a book i was made to read for class? Absolutely not. Do i think this is a book that needs to be shared with everyone, or is for everyone? No. As someone who grew up in a loud household with heavily religious undertones in every step i made, and whose family managed to grow out of that, this book meant the world to me. Did it send me spiraling? Yes. And i can’t help but think that raised my score. 10/10, would not recommend.
