This volume focus on Charlie’s eating disorder. I thought it to be very educational for teenagers who are going through the similar situation, specially that the author has demonstrated through the story the importance of creating a support network with Nick and Charlie looking for the support of their parents, specialist in the field, teachers and friends. That is an important message for teenagers, that tend to try to solve things by themselves, which can be dangerous for their health and potentially harmful to their relationship. At the end, as they sought for support, neither of them got emotionally overwhelmed and their relationship became stronger. Very wise!
