I'm sad I didn't read this back in high school, however, I am happy to get this off my bucket list. Plus, I plan on keeping this sucker for all of my moves in the future. This book is truly a keeper in my eyes. It has described the struggles that every person goes through in high school but it's not just centered in high school.
I think every person can relate to Charlie's feeling of loneliness even when he's with his friends. I know I have felt that, even as soon as this year. He is a young kid who has never had people really care for him unless they are family. Do you remember that first group of friends that you had where you had to learn the dynamics of caring about someone? And being so afraid that they don't really care for you because there is no way that a person you care for so much can want to be your friend? Well, Charlie describes this in such a mature yet innocent way that makes you want to constantly turn the page.
I'm hoping the movie will be amazing, and from what I have seen of the trailer, I expect nothing but the best. One of my favorite quotes came from this book. "We accept the love we think we deserve." I don't know why I love this, maybe it's because I have always struggled with the thought and idea of love. But seriously? And my friends and family shower me constantly with the love I never thought I would have ever.
I really do recommend you reading this book though. I have read online constantly how this book is a must read for many people. And after finishing it, I completely agree.
