I really enjoyed this story, it's a wonderful young adult semi-fiction. It has themes of love, loss, suicide, friendship all told through the protagonists perspective via letters to an anonymous recipient. It discusses some relatable high school experiences, and especially the experience of transitioning into adulthood.

We are infinite . The most iconic quote in this book.This is an amazing book and is like a young high schoolers version of The Catcher In The Rye .But Charlie has hope and wants to be the best friend anyone can have .He try’s his best to make friendships work and does this out of love.
