A super easy read with the writing being in the form of letters. It follows Charlie's first year in high school after the suicide of one of his friends and how he copes with navigating a new school without his previous group of friends.

The story is emotional. Charlie has experienced a lot of trauma in his life but doesn't believe he has, and has desensitised himself to it by saying "other people have it worse". This eventually leads him into crisis after remembering a specific traumatic event. 

This is a story of friendship, first love, heartbreak and self-discovery. It is also one of trauma and mental health issues, and deals with some heavy themes at times.

This was the second time that I've read the book and I think it was good that I did since I read it differently now, in some way. I believe that anyone who was the "quiet kid" in school or still is should definitely read it and will recognise themselves in it. It is written in a simple manner and that makes it easy to understand but at the same time there is just enough room for interpretation. The whole concept of Charlie writting to someone (the reader) makes it way more personal and that was what I think makes the book so special, so poignant, what makes this book stand out. Without this concept it would have been rather basic as I imagine. 
I did love it and really enjoyed reading it. Totally recommend!
