i had always heard people say how great the movie was so, i wanted to give the book a try. i had to reread it halfway in because it felt slow at first, once i decided to annotate it and pay extra attention to the writing style, the book was magnificent. the style of writing is still difficult for me to get into but overall charlie's coming of age story was enlightening and made me emotional at parts.

I can't not put into words how much this novel truly means to me. I've never ever related more to character, I don't know if it's because I've also experienced similar things Charlie has but I know it felt incredible to be represented in such a beautiful way. The writing format is the most unique thing I've ever read, and I've read a lot. This book has helped me understand who I am and helped me find myself and a little bit of closure. And for that I am eternally grateful. Please read this book! It could change who you are as a person!
