This book is one of, if not my favorite, books ever. It is the first book I ever read that made me cry, laugh, whoop, hoot, and holler. It made me feel a whole spectrum of feelings and emotions. It’s also the first book that me and my mother discussed together. I was ashamed that I cried, and she told me that it was OK because that just showed that I have a heart and a GOOD book will do that for you.
