This book was incredibly entertaining and fun to listen to. It's completely made up of notes and letters from one person to another, and this is such a fun way to tell a story. I really enjoyed it.

Feeling sorry for Celia is an incredible coming of age epistolary novel about teen relationships, especially friendship. It’s hilarious, emotional and completely unique, written in Jaclyn Moriarty’s unique writing voice. The characters are some of the most lovable, unique people I’ve read and the story is woven perfectly. There were some sexual references and a suicide attempt by a character but nothing graphic. This book is a treasure.
