OTP: My story is one of perseverance, struggles, and acceptance. Many characters heavy influenced my growth as a human being. Plenty of ups and downs but ultimately leading to me being comfortable with who I am and the actions I have taken in my life to get to where I am today. Except for making my friend snort a vanilla bean Frappuccino out his nose from laughter while he was driving on the highway. My bad, Andy! Question: is there a specific length you’re looking for in our response due before next class?

David is pretty charismatic with his writing style, his family seems like they have an okay relationship compared to how they generally treat each other. They’ve reached a balance of sorts with their conflicting personalities and general dislikes for each other. Hate to see his family is anti reptile but I understand their choice. Kind of funny to read about slightly below average height discrimination in males, enjoyable introduction to this book.
