Devastating and beautiful and, oh my goodness, the heartbreak. I loved every second of it, even when I was sobbing my eyes out or shaking with rage. Truly a story that should be read by everybody.

I cried so much reading this; the first half of the book sets up the characters you will spend the second half sobbing over. There are certainly dated elements (describing a specific reaction .gif, use of Tumblr and Facebook as though they're relevant to teens), but the overall plot unfortunately is as relevant as ever.
