I've read this book three times and somehow never marked it as read until I came across a review from an acquaintance on here. The first time I was in 7th grade. I had borrowed this book from my parent's bookshelf and then started sobbing in my English class during our initial 10 minutes of reading. The second time I read it for class freshman year of high school, and I still cried like a baby. Then I read it a third time my sophomore year after moving to a new high school. It will never not move me to my very bones. This novel is one of those important ones that truly makes me view the world forever different.
