I have to live my truth...

3/5

Easy read, I like how the book it's written, it makes you feel more connected to Charlie and his world, and it does a great job at portraying anxiety.

Nevertheless this book has a problem that I can only describe as "to much trauma", like Charlie's sister gets an abortion and after the letter where it's mention it's never touched again???, Michael's death even seems irrelevant at times.

But you know, I'm also a teenager (who is not particularly "participating") and all the graduation stuff and the simple things like just hang out with friends pulled my heartstrings
