oh my god the reread is this was actually better in a way for me. it helped me remember so many things especially with it being the 20th anniversary edition and having an extra letter from charlie. 

i’m definitely going to reread this yet again but with a special task for my best friend who hasn’t read this yet. and i cannot wait. 

i definitely feel like this is a must read for everybody just because of the way it shows how some react to certain things.

One of my favourite books; a treat to re-read. I love it so much and it feels so comfortable to read it. It makes me feel so seen and accepted - even when I don’t relate to the characters I feel like I can bring my whole self to this book.
