5.0

Possibly one of the best books I'll read in my entire life. This book is perfect at showing us how all the characters are imperfect and have unique experiences, to the point where I actually felt deep sonder. I found Charlie and his thought process to be quite relatable at times, and I really enjoyed the epistolary format of the book. I also liked how it dealt with serious topics because, despite being serious, sometimes they barely got a few pages if it didn't really affect Charlie which, to me, felt interestingly realistic, as sometimes we just brush past or move on from morbid spectacles with quite ease. Overall, I loved this book and would recommend this book to all of my friends
