I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where I’ve related to the character so much. Charlie’s description of his depressive episodes, the overthinking, overanalysing and social anxiety was amazing. I think his character building, how he viewed his friends, and his hopes of their happiness was top notch. He is amazing, and I love him so much. I will watch the film later in the week, I’ve heard it’s as good as the book, which I hope.
