The character development of Charlie throughout the story is thorough and slow - sure, he is annoying at times, but that is accurate to how you would expect a confused, growing teen to act.
Overall an enjoyable read.
Minor: Sexual harassment

Throughout the book Charlie experience a sense of hopelessness while he sees the world (and the people) around him break down into pieces, just to realize that he cannot do anything to fix them no matter how much he tries. All the characters come with their own set of problems and we can see how these problems consume Charlie completely, even if they don't belong to him. Which is something some of us can deeply relate to.
This book makes you feel seen and understood. It encourages you embrace those around you despite their flaws, because we are not perfect either. We are all trying to get through life one day at a time, might as well just do it along those you care for.
