Ratings and reviews

This book is truly amazing!!!🌌 I love this book because it wasn't a typical read, it had a dark side to it which I loved!💖 it was incredible how the characters in the book had major obstacles but they slowly overcame it with the help of a few people supporting them along the way . This book is the perfect example of "life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful" and lastly I love how the main character chose what she loved instead of trying to please others!!!

Loved it. Was totally and completely inspiring. I was completely absorbed in the book. It's been a while since I was so stuck in a book, Just Listen helped me get my head back into the books (even though I was supposed to be studying)

Great book. Really talks you through opening up and a sense of loneness. I used to jam my earphones on without listening to anything because that would make me look occupied. All in all this is a great book, the review still standing, as I read it 5 years from when I first read it.
