My Rating: 5/5
This book was so particularly stellar. I had no idea that this would be so amazing and relatable and just so much more. The characters, the plotline, the subject matter just everything is fantastic. I was really happy that the author had an individual voice and story but the combination of all is just amazing. The gaining of understanding and the underlying message that we all have something going on. I plan on buying this book so I can own a physical copy and revisit it as often as I like as well as lend it out to my friends who NEED to read it.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
