4.25* 
 The main reason I became aware of this book is because of the author. JesseTheReader did an interview with Adam Silvera and I looked into the book. I tried reading it a couple of times before but I never did finish it. However this time I did and boy was I touched. I don't think I was in the mood for such a heavy and intense book however it worked. It was light at the beginning but it got really emotional like halfway through. This book is indescribable. It is an emotional rollercoaster and it did take risks and the MC certainly stepped out of his comfort zone. There is something for everyone to learn from here. This book describes how in real life how badly people are treated for who they are. This books shines light on the real monsters and reasons young people are driven to do things that ruin their life. It was raw and heartbreaking and so real. The author did not keep his MC safe and happy just because he felt like it. The author was not afraid to hurt his characyers which made this book all the more realistic. A happy fairy tale ending is not just thrown because in reality every story does not have a happy ending despite the odds. However, there is hope at the end even though its not guaranteed. :( I was spoilt for this book so I did not feel the full impact of all the emotions. Looking forward to The History of Us.
