The best book I’ve read so far this year. A really beautiful story of coming of age, understanding your trauma, and finding yourself even when it’s hard, which it often is.

Wow oh my god it was so good! I don’t usually write reviews unless I really LOVE a book and this one was definitely worthy of one. 

The storytelling is so powerful. The characters, even the side characters were written strongly and all distinct from each other.
