Such an amazing YA book.

This is such an amazing books for teens! I read this with my 8th grade ELA students and they loved it. It touched on heavy topics, without giving too much details, so it made my students infer about what really happened.

A good book that will make you cry

This was such a good book. Although it was hit wrenchingly sad and made me sob, I truly loved this read.
