Why do I somehow feel like I really loved this book but it’s also just meh? Maybe it’s something to do with why I started it and then put it down and didn’t pick it back up for maybe two weeks but when I picked it back up I almost couldn’t put it down and finished reading it in under a day. Charlie might be one of the realists and most relatable teenagers I’ve ever read about and I honestly think I’m not emotionally ready to fully grasp that yet so one day I’ll reread this book and I think then I’ll be changing the review to 5 stars.
