This is a re-read for me and I definitely enjoyed it more than I did last time. The writing is very captivating and I could really connect with the characters, but I did feel a lack of connection in between the snippets of storytelling. It’s a very emotional book that definitely has some beautiful quotes and I feel like I would have enjoyed it even more if I had been in a similar situation to the characters (age and living situation wise). (No quotation marks though, -.25 for that)
