5.0

This book was definitely heavy, I would check out any triggers before reading. I really enjoyed reading this book and I can see why it is so popular. When it comes to the flow of the book I loved that there were no numbered chapters and that the chapters were all pretty short. As for the story, I found myself truly feeling the emotion Charlie and many of the other characters expressed and I’m so happy there is a happy ending. There were a couple of moments that had me completely shocked and I didn’t know what to expect next! I think this will be a book I recommend in the future!

It wasn’t my favorite but it was very quick read. No smut, which made its rating higher.

It is dark but ends well and is something you might yell at the characters at at times but is really good
