Going into this book I knew it was supposed to be “sad”, but I think sad is an understatement.
It’s heart wrenching, so emotional and so dark. Throughout the book I remained hopeful that something good would happen, but would usually end up disappointed. I think that’s a good thing though, it’s necessary to be disappointed or shocked for this type of story. This story may seem over the top to some people, especially the things that happen to Charlie, but it’s (unfortunately) extremely realistic. This book was so good.
