renatasnacks 's review for:

Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
4.0

A definite readalike for [b:Thirteen Reasons Why|1217100|Thirteen Reasons Why|Jay Asher|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1333822506s/1217100.jpg|2588213], [b:The Perks of Being a Wallflower|22628|The Perks of Being a Wallflower|Stephen Chbosky|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1363910637s/22628.jpg|2236198], and other books about articulate depressed/suicidal youth.

I think it will really resonate with a lot of teens. For me, coming right after [b:Liv, Forever|18077961|Liv, Forever|Amy Talkington|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1392848882s/18077961.jpg|25384385], I was a little bit like, "Yeah, okay, I get it, Leonard. You're DIFFERENT from all those other SHEEP."

Still, I appreciated Leonard's candor as a narrator and I definitely felt for him.
