holy shit!!! i cried probably every 20 pages. i’ve seen the movie and finally decided to read- boy, was that a great decision. it was inspiring in a not-corny way, and even at times when it was corny, i didn’t mind it. this book was so difficult to put down. it’s definitely in my top three now.

This book is really great! And not like most books, this book actually something to me. I felt different after I finished it and the book left me some thoughts and lessons so guess I cansay it's life-changing! Really the movie before and now I like the book also. The book is better becauseit gave me some insights on Charlies thoughts and feelings how he views things in the world. Really great and the "afterward" in my copy really gives me hope and inspires me! Really recommend but should check trigger warnings first!

I loved the twist about Charlie's Aunt Helen. Literally had me saying oh my God over and over again out loud.
