This was certainly so important for me to read when I read it as a young person in like 2010. It definitely has made a huge impact on my life, which is important. That being said, it doesn’t hold up super well in 2024. There’s quite a few racist/transphobic moments that just didn’t need to happen?? But some of the other moments similar to those make sense since the character is only 15. Overall something I might read again when feeling depressed, since it’s so validating for someone with suicidal ideation. BUT it’s definitely not the best book I’ve ever read.
