I LOVED this book. It got me sobbing. I've never read something that made me feel so seen (i think that's the best way to describe it). Charlie is one of the most relatable characters ever. This book made me feel SO understood, I loved it and i'm totally going to read it again.
2nd read: once again, i loved this book. i didn't cry as much this time, but i feel like i connected more with the characters. as i'm writing this, i'm less than twenty days away from starting high school. now i get charlie even more than i did the first time. i still have never felt so seen by a book.

Ich mochte Charlie, Sam und Patrick sowie die Geschichte sehr, mir gefiel der Aufbau in Briefen allerdings nicht wirklich. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass man zumindest am Ende einmal erfährt, wer die mysteriöse Person ist, der Charlie all die Briefe schickt (und ob es der Junge ist, der den Spind neben Charlie hat, weil er sagte, er wisse, wer er ist). Den Mittelteil des Buches fand ich stellenweise etwas schwach, doch das Ende gefiel mir sehr. Es löste sich einfach alles richtig schön auf und es war ein perfektes Happy End. Wenn auch nicht alles komplett gut war, machten die Charaktere das Beste daraus. Die Enthüllung über Charlie fand ich ebenfalls sehr berührend.

"We accept the love we think we deserve"
I think I've never cried with a book before. It wasn't sadness but just absolute wholesomeness.
As a person who could be considered a "wallflower", I just couldn't help but love Charlie.
This book is not perfect though, I think at times the author takes advantage of the fact that the book is supposed to be written by a 15 year old boy and the quality of writing is sometimes a bit variable.
