A reminder of hope mixed with dark times and self-doubt. This story was a fast read--it gained momentum quickly and grabbed me in. Powerful but also relatable.

I love the way Bougie captured Charlie's depression and anxiety in this; the way that a hopeful future is something to try to work towards that still feels totally unattainable.
