I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where I’ve related to the character so much. Charlie’s description of his depressive episodes, the overthinking, overanalysing and social anxiety was amazing. I think his character building, how he viewed his friends, and his hopes of their happiness was top notch. He is amazing, and I love him so much. I will watch the film later in the week, I’ve heard it’s as good as the book, which I hope.

2023: wonderful, wonderful book. though it didn't have the same impact on me this time it's still a very emotional and thought-provoking read. 

2022: a beautiful book written in a very interesting way. i could see myself in the protagonist, showing me a new perspective on friends, feelings and life.
