Review of 'So B. It' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

When I first read this book, almost fifteen years ago, it really stuck with me. I was amazed by it. And now, rereading it for at least the third time, I reaffirmed my love for the book. There's just something so beautiful and believable about this little book, even if it is a bit outlandish. It feels extremely genuine. Even if the entire thing is a lie (as most stories are), I believed in every single bit of it. I don't know. I can't really put into words how much I love this book. It's just a really good one.
