I really liked the format with the letters. It is such a unique idea that brings the reader to be more involved with the story. It's as if Charlie left these letters to the reader directly, so you are more emotionally invested in his life.
I didn't catch a particular running plotline, but more watching Charlie grow over time. There are a lot of events noted, but none of them are more important than the others. It's really just "Hey, here's what happened the past couple of days!" It's really the reader catching Charlie's vibe and finding what he found important for the day.
There are quite a few bits of traumatic experiences involved in his letters. Most have little detail. Part of me wishes we knew more of the details to aid in character development. The other part appreciates the way it is because Charlie's letters would not include those parts anyway. It feels more authentic and true to his character to make a statement so the reader understands but respects his friends/ family by stating the minimum.

So, I guess we are who we are for a lot 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.
