So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

I loved the format of a story being told through letters to a mysterious person, whom we never discover the identity of, I feel like it gives the story a truly unique feeling to it that wouldn't be the same if it was written through a typical narrative. Charlie's complexity unfolded like the petals of a flower, delicately and with grace, and his story really moved me - when I reached the halfway point, I found myself physically unable to put the book down until I'd finished it, and even then I was left wanting more. In a good way. This book both spoke to the teenage version of myself inside of me who is still longing for acceptance and a space just to be, and the adult version of myself who found both of those things.
Thank you, Charlie, for your story and thank you, Chbosky, for letting me be a listener to it.
