Wowowowowow. Thought I was done with broken emotional teenage shit and all that jazz. BUT WOWOWOWOWOW. This is one of the best that I've read. Maise is as strong as a fucking statue built with the hardest concrete. She could knock you out with that sharp mouth of hers and make you love her at the same time. Well ofcourse, this all comes down to Leah. You are a fucking genius and you deserve heaps of appreciation. Well done. This wasn't all about taboo, no. It was also about family and maturity and reality and just LIFE as it is. Although I did love the plot and the story and everything of the theme sense (and I do, really, a lot), what got me clingy to this book is the writing. That writing, man, I devoured every word, every comparison, every metaphor, every humor, every fucking thing. It was the trigger, consistent from the beginning. Never disappointing. The way of words was so beautiful I could weep and not care. It let me feel and pour all my emotions out and gaaaaah. Okay wow. Wow. Once again wow. And you probably know what'll come next right? Right. WOW. Okay. wow.
