 I read this 3-4 years ago and I really wanted to re-read it. It is definitely on my list of favourite books. I would give it 5 stars for the writing style alone, it's definitely not for everyone, but I really vibe with it. I had to knock the rating down a bit solely for the pages of cricket description because, despite being Australian, I have no clue how cricket works and it only ever seems boring.

I liked Charlie’s reflections on life, and the twists he and Jasper encountered as they looked for answers.
