Wow.
I’ve wanted to read this book for years and I am so glad that I finally have. This book is raw, beautiful, tough and emotional. At first I didn’t get it. I didn’t understand the letters or Charlie really but about a quarter of the way in, it hit me and I couldn’t put the book down.
I’m a lot like Charlie and at times I just wanted to reach inside the pages and hug him. The ending was tough to read but it made the book make sense. Truly a fantastic read.
