    “As a person that can never express his emotions and thoughts into words properly, this book made me feel really understood in a way. The story is very psychological and is a good representation of getting a glimpse into a teenager who lives in a different way/views the word differently's mind. The writing is amazing, and tells a very beautiful story. Recommend this book a lot, especially if you love getting goosebumps while reading.”
