to say this book broke me is an understatement. it was funny, sad, beautiful & heartbreaking all in one. i did not want to close the book and have to accept that i wouldn’t be able to read another letter from charlie. i watched the movie years ago and have been wanting to read the book since. i’m so glad i did. this is definitely a top favorite book for me, of all time. i would love to hear from charlie and about his life now. the characters are so relatable and lovable.
