5.0

This epistolary book is a hard read and deals with some dark stuff, but
it's worth it for the ending.
Much of the book is written in slang, which might make it harder for some readers, but it's not so heavily written in slang that it takes away from the character development or plot. This is an important story that is good for the soul and I would recommend it to almost anyone who is older than 18.
