I just finished reading this book for the second time and annotating it and it's still a five star read for me. I've never related harder to a piece of media in my life, which really stings considering the context. This book has helped me come to terms with some really difficult stuff that's happened in my life and I'm so, so glad I read it. It's heart-breaking, but it's written incredibly well and I think you should give it a chance.
