Please avoid eating thin noodles or white saucy substances while reading.

Honestly, this book hurt. The damage we inflict on each other as children, our inherent ability to squash everything unique or special in an effort to cover up our insecurities or proclivity to the safe and cowardly is always painful to read about. That being said, I would recommend this book to everyone entering middle school and high school. There are some things we should never forget.
