I’ve been wanting to read this book for ages and I finally did. I really liked it, but at the same time didn’t love it. I enjoyed that it’s written like letters to someone (you) that made it very interactive for me. 

I also really like the wording and the sentences. One that sticked out for me was

”Inside the typewriter was a piece of white paper. On that piece of white paper Sam wrote, “Write about me sometime.” And I typed something back to her, standing right there in her bedroom. I just typed. “I will”” p.74

I feel like this book is one I would like to reread in the future, we will see if I do that! :D

A super easy read with the writing being in the form of letters. It follows Charlie's first year in high school after the suicide of one of his friends and how he copes with navigating a new school without his previous group of friends.

The story is emotional. Charlie has experienced a lot of trauma in his life but doesn't believe he has, and has desensitised himself to it by saying "other people have it worse". This eventually leads him into crisis after remembering a specific traumatic event. 

This is a story of friendship, first love, heartbreak and self-discovery. It is also one of trauma and mental health issues, and deals with some heavy themes at times.
