4.5

Look, I know this book looks daunting at first glance, but trust me, it's long for a good reason. There are so many themes: grief, mental health, spirituality, adolescence, love, consumerism, capitalism etc.... It also offers multiple perspectives (one of which is the actual book's perspective, which is very creative). It is a slightly stressful, but overall rewarding story.
