Do you fear high school?
Do you fear people?
Then this is the book for you.
Charlie is the unpopular kind, the one that is unable to fit somewhere, and he has a fear of connecting with people, living his life without actually "participating". That's until he meets Patrick and Sam, of course. And that changes him. They give a meaning to the words "friends" and "love", and he doesn't feel alone anymore.
I think every and each of us has been there, looking around and wondering "What am I doing here?" ...more

A very well written, original idea that deals with some difficult contemporary issues. I liked the idea of writing to "a friend" and understood that Charlie wasn't quite right in the head, I mean no-one wants a protagonist that is perfect right?

Things I didn't like - Charlie is a little dull at times, and a little too naive for a fifteen year old.
The constant references to other novels - ...more

All I can say is that I wish I could have the friends Charlie had. But seeing the similarities between us I feel we'd have been ffriends.

“So, this is the book I read. And I want you to know that I both like and dislike it and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”

Sad and beautiful story about devastating betrayal and life validating resilience and healing. Very powerful and moving.
