This book made me truly smile, in addition, the novel is nice the way it is. Since, it stayed true to the original story. I felt like this book addressed the topics spot-on.

My Opinion:

I read this book because I enjoy graphic novels. Anyways, I can relate to Raina since I had to do an urgent surgery back in 2011 when I was 7 years old because I fell off the TV cabinet while I was trying to grab my ipod.
