I loved this book. But I think it's almost impossible to explain why. There is just so much you can learn from it and Charlie. The writing was amazing and I thought it flowed beautifully. I couldn't put this book down even though it doesn't have a typical addictive plot. I just thought it was excellent and thought provoking. Highly recommend.

Wow. I really appreciated the style this book was written. The letter format felt so matter of fact but in just the right way. There were so many parts that gave me a pit in my stomach. But in a good way

It was an easy read. My feelings while reading  ranged from enjoyable to cringe worth to pity and pride. There are heavy topic that aren't the center of the plot but has the reader take a moment to realize what had just happened before moving on.
