 THIS BOOK WAS SO GRIPPING AND WONDERFUL YET SO HEARTBREAKING AND LIFE AFFIRMING. I adored the characters, screamed at the manipulative assholes and cried when they were in pain. This book is something else, READ IT. 
 "life isn't about self-deprivation, or purity, or immortality. It's about love, and comfort, and music, and ducks on a pond and ice-cream on the beach. It's about pain and grief and joy and sex and boredom and chocolate. Life is for living. So go live."
