I love this book so incredibly much. It’s important to remember that you are never alone in your struggles. Someone has felt the same way you are feeling, even if they never admitted it to someone or themselves.

We are infinite . The most iconic quote in this book.This is an amazing book and is like a young high schoolers version of The Catcher In The Rye .But Charlie has hope and wants to be the best friend anyone can have .He try’s his best to make friendships work and does this out of love.
