A great book about both the value of community and of impact of books. I loved the little bits of the books interspersed in each of the characters stories and how it became personal to them. And the message about community and reaching out to each other, not knowing what another person is going thru is so important.

There were a number of sad elements especially with how no one seemed to be aware of what was happening with Leilah, Aiden and Aleisha. It was really horrific how no one did anything to intervene in the dysfunction. I know it happens in real life but I really disliked that part of the book to be honest.
