I love this book with my whole heart. I relate to Charlie so much and i just found the way that he was written extraordinary. The writing is amazing and it felt so approachable, and yet raw and brutally honest. I have no words. The character arch is fascinating and the last two letters were earth shattering. Charlie goes through a lot and i think the book is a good representation of ptsd and unresolved childhood trauma.
