this was on of the best books i have ever read. i finished it in basically one day, and it’s amazing. every single person should ready this book (at least at some point) but especially in their teen years. this book handles with many challenging topics, but that’s what makes it so amazing, seeing these topics from charlie’s pov. please read this, you won’t regret it.

i would say if you are in a bad mental state do not read this book, it has many heavy heavy topics and discusses them in detail, i would also not read this book if you have a big tw/cw with rap3, as this is frequently mentioned in the book.

Reading this as an adult is wildly different from when I read it as a 14 year old. But I appreciate it more now, and I can see how well it was crafted as a story and the character of Charlie himself. It's actually brilliant. But geez it's fucking sad. 10/10 excellent book.
