Been Obsessed Since 2010

I remember the summer of 2010 very clearly because all you could find was me reading this book every single day. I took it everywhere with me, even to the water park. I could not put it down. Then, one day, it got lost and I was devastated. I have been on a search every since to find this book again. I checked all the libraries and they said it couldn't exist because "Sorta" isn't a word. I could never find it, or anything by Matthew Quick, in a bookstore. Then I took a leap of faith and tried this site. I was ecstatic and immediately asked my mom for some money. I ran to the mailbox the day it was supposed to arrive and I wasted no time opening it. I haven't put it down since. I knew I didn't imagine a character as wonderfully brilliant and hopeful as Amber Appleton. Though she is pure fiction, I have spent the past decade admiring her and trying to model myself off her. This book, and all it's characters, are amazing. You should not find yourself disappointed
