Top tier YA even after all these years
It was interesting reading this for the first time as an adult and reflecting on the themes and plot-points I couldn’t quite understand at 14
Specifically noticed what a beautiful reflection this is on masculinity
Also 1) Logan Lerman really did nail it aaaand 2) I have to read Catcher in the Rye again now
