This story ruined me but in the best way. It was so incredible and so complex, and there were quite a few times where I just had to set down the book to process what had happened.
It's a great mix between mystery and showcasing life amongst diverse identities. I think that this will definitely continue to be an influential read for my life, and I'm not sure I will ever stop thinking about it.
It's just one of those stories, you know? The first time I read this, I hadn't seen many books that really made me connect deeply with the main characters. Sure I was a little younger, so I didn't have as many novels to compare that to, but it still holds up right now to me.

Overall, if it wasn't obvious by now, I would 100% recommend reading this, and I think it's suitable for quite a large range of ages. While the message is also important for children to understand, I think it's best if read by young adults and above because of some of the darker or "more adult" themes.
