I just finished this book and I am currently experiencing that feeling when you know you just read one of the best books in your life and the next book you’ll read will have to be as good not to be a disappointment.
This novel was excellent from the start to the ending. The characters were beautifully written. It treats hard subject with justness and has very clever and beautiful messages to convey. I wish I could’ve read it in 9th grade.
However, I want to mention that this book has a lot of trigger warnings and it’s best to check out for them before deciding to read it, which I strongly recommend if you feel like you won’t be affected by the potentially triggering material.
