Wonder by R.J. Palacio
5.0

This book made me sad-cry quite a few times, but more often I found myself happy-crying. This was the second book I have ever read that made me want to stand up and clap once I had finished it.

Though upsetting at times, this book was an absolute joy to read.
Another must-read for EVERYONE.
Five stars!!


Side note:
My only issue with this book was the Justin section, just because of how it was formatted. The exclusion of capitalization and quotes to indicate who was talking drove me nuts.

My favorite lines:
"When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”- Dr Wayne W. Dyer

“You don’t need your eyes to love, right? You just feel it inside you.”

“I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives."

“I didn’t destroy a Death Star or anything like that, but I did just get through the fifth grade. And that’s not easy, even if you’re not me."
