I tried my best to make this even, but this appears to be a very short read. This thread will open on Sunday.

So I flew through this in a day and a half. It was really good but I hadn't read the summary and went into it blind and (view spoiler)[ I was completely blindsided by how heavy this was. I had not expected so many big issues to be talked about and shown throughout. And the ending messed me up a bit. (hide spoiler)]

I agree! It’s been a few years since I’ve read this, and am actually not as far into the book as I’d like, but the beginning definitely talks about some heavy stuff. I’m honestly surprised I was able to get through this at a younger age now that I truly understand the full idea/meaning/consequence behind every theme presented.

Me too! It didn't feel as sad when I read this about a year ago, but I went through it in 2 days and ohhhh I love it so much! I'm so happy to see this as the book of this month! I love love love this book, ahhh.
