Reading this as an adult is wildly different from when I read it as a 14 year old. But I appreciate it more now, and I can see how well it was crafted as a story and the character of Charlie himself. It's actually brilliant. But geez it's fucking sad. 10/10 excellent book.

5.0

This is by far the best book I have ever read. It is so relatable as a teenager, someone in highschool, someone struggling with mental illness, and etc. The characters are flawed, and I think that's what makes the book so much more relatable. It shows how imperfect people really are. I think the friendships/relationships in this book are so interesting, and the novel is overall something that I find causing me to reflect a lot on myself. I would recommend this book to someone who needs to feel like they're "not alone" and desires to be understood.
