“No one can understand but me. I passed your floor in the elevator on the way up, and now I’m passing it again on the way back down…”

Some powerful stuff

The Beatles knew what was up. All you need is love

Only about half way through and I’m presented with a ton of differing emotions. Annoyed about Charlie’s growing narcissism as his intelligence increases, but also feeling incredibly sorry for him as he realizes how mistreated and abusive everyone in his life has been to him up to this point. That boy needs therapy.

Super enjoyable read thus far. Highly recommended

Poor Charlie just wants to be smart so he can have friends. Finding out all your “friends” only liked you so they had someone to laugh at is gonna break his little heart :(
