This is a very OG book, and if you have read it in your youth, I definitely recommend reading it again. The dynamics with the characters and the situation are relatable and it put your mind in a different perspective so definitely and really great read to read again with a different mindset.
This book started me reading. It is a page turner you will not want to put it down. so when my book club decided to read it again.I was very excited since it's been quite a few years since i've read this book.
I have read it a million times and every time I read it I get different thoughts and opinions about the characters. The book is full of subliminal messages. Love it!!
