Why do I somehow feel like I really loved this book but it’s also just meh? Maybe it’s something to do with why I started it and then put it down and didn’t pick it back up for maybe two weeks but when I picked it back up I almost couldn’t put it down and finished reading it in under a day. Charlie might be one of the realists and most relatable teenagers I’ve ever read about and I honestly think I’m not emotionally ready to fully grasp that yet so one day I’ll reread this book and I think then I’ll be changing the review to 5 stars.

4.5

This book made me dissociate in a good way. The ending is terribly sad and yet hopeful and positive, and throughout it the whole book made me think differently about the world a little bit. The only thing holding back a 5 star is the writing style in a series of letters, it isnt bad necessarily but sorta made it hard to get in to in the beginning and sometimes i found it challenging for some reason. For now this is my favourite book, because it’s the last one I read. 💕

P.S: this book tackles a whole lot of traumatic events, sexual abuse, drug abuse, and others. Be aware of that.
