Absolutely enthralling storytelling. I've seen (read: sobbed over) the movie so I knew what to expect here, but nothing lost its impact. Thomas is an amazing writer and able to create such emotion through her characters. Following Starr through this journey was thought-provoking, reflective, angering, and sobering. It was so powerful to see these teenagers just trying to be teenagers while also fighting for their lives. It's a long one, but so worth it and I couldn't put it down. (read for 530 YA Lit)
