Controversial submitted by shpowers on July 9, 2015, 5:42pm This book was an interesting read with a surprising twist near the end. The writing felt immature at times, but was gripping nonetheless. Th author's depiction of relationships, grief, and mental illness has met with criticism from many readers. It's worth reading just to begin a conversation around these topics.
