Minor: Sexual assault and Suicide

kingcarstairs's review against another edition

5.0

He tenido una copia de este libro desde hace casi 9 años y nunca me había animado a leerlo. Creo que si lo hubiese hecho cuando tenía 13, sí hubiese extraído el mensaje de la historia, pero solo como eso: la idea en la que está construida la historia. Sin embargo, ahora que han pasado tanto tiempo y luego de atravesar por miles de cosas, lo he sentido directo en el corazón: lo he entendido, comprendido y he empatizado a un nivel sorprendente.
Me ha parecido un libro real, así de simple. Fui realmente la persona a la que Charlie le escribió cartas contándole su vida y al igual que él me lo desea, espero que sea feliz donde sea que se encuentre.

4.0

A year in the life of a high school freshman, told in a series of letters to an unnamed "friend." The protagonist is selfless to a fault, and the school year is a journey of self discovery, heartache and deep friendships. None of it is easy, but the characters are relatable and the story feels true.
