I both love and hate this book. I saw so much of myself reflected back at me in the characters. This book has given me new insight into areas I’d never considered, and a different perspective on areas I know. I really feel like I was on a journey of self-discovery with the characters. There’s something about this book that strikes such a chord in me and I can’t help but love it, even while vehemently disagreeing with many of the characters’ actions.
