I honestly don't think that I "get" this book. It has so many awards and has been turned into a movie and everything, but I really just found it boring. There was nothing that gripped me or made me want to pick it up. I didn't really connect with any of the characters. My favorite part was the last 15ish pages were a connection was made that surprised me. No spice, some language, and a lot of writing about suicide.
