emotional medium-paced

3.0

I say it rarely but the movie was much better. I feel like epistolary version of Charlie was really unbelievable and I didn't connect to any characters, they all felt pretty flat to me.

A main character is gay; multiple descriptions of F/M and M/M sexual encounters; someone uses the gay slur f-word;

and references to a character being sexually abused by an adult.

I really enjoyed reading this book in high school. It was a sweet coming-of-age story about making friends who love you for you.

One of my favourite books; a treat to re-read. I love it so much and it feels so comfortable to read it. It makes me feel so seen and accepted - even when I don’t relate to the characters I feel like I can bring my whole self to this book.
