I haven't even finished this book, I'm about halfway through, and I needed to share it.
This book is extremely powerful and I'm completely consumed by it. Young adults and "regular" adults alike could learn a thing or two--or ten--from the lessons the main character, Hannah, is trying to communicate.
I'm completely hooked and will definitely spend the rest of my day diving into this captivating read.
