Not only that, but I also think high school students about to go off to college and even people currently in college will relate to this book and find at least a small part of themselves in it.This is a beautiful story about friendship and finding your own path in life even if it differs from the path you were told you needed to take to succeed. What I can say is that this book and it's message is incredibly important to me. It also cut me deep.So, simply saying I enjoyed this doesn't really express my feelings adequately and I'm not sure if I even have the capacity to explain how much this book means to me. When it comes to Frances, my experience with high school and preparing for college was slightly less intense than hers but I still found myself relating to her experience a lot. When it comes to Aled, I can't relate to his relationship with his mother but I can DEFINITELY relate to his experience with being at university and some of the feelings he had for it, but mostly his reaction to being there.
So, I'm just going to say this:I relate to Frances and Aled a lot and I have so much love for them and so many feelings about them.
