Wow! This book is very powerful. Going into the mind of a shy, socially awkward boy with a dark past and lots of trauma bottled inside, until he finds friends that make him feel like he belongs somewhere. Some of these scenes actually remind me of myself, also Charlie has been through a lot. There’s quite a bit I can see did not make into the film, like him witnessing a girl get raped in his bedroom when he was 10.

Still going strong. And wow lots of stuff had happened. 1, his sister became pregnant and they got an abortion and kept it a secret. 2, Charlie started dating Mary Elizabeth, but she isn’t really his cup of tea and 3, when playing truth or dare, when dared to kiss the pretty girl in the room. He went for Sam. I’m on part 4 now, this book is really good.

Still going strong. Wow this book is a lot first we got a deeper look into Charlie’s extended family. His dad’s life and his abusive stepdad who beat him and his sister, him deeply missing his aunt Helen (and secretly jamming himself for her death) and him always having panic attacks and crying a lot. This book is actually relatable to me with the family drama and anxiety. And I love it.
