Rating: 9 out of ten
Age Range: I would give this book to a 13 year old and up because there is some swearing and one part is a tad inappropriate. Otherwise, it's a lovely book! If you are younger than that and still want to read this book, have your parents read it first and then they can tell you if it's a good fit for you.
This book in three words... Eye-opening... Insightful... Thoughtful
