3.0

So this book was pretty good. It made me cry, it made me smile, it made me throw the book across the room. I do have a few problems though.

I thought it was a bit cringey at times, and the plot was kind of pointless by the end. 

The end was... not great but overall I thought it was a decent and definitely sad, relatable story.
