This book was heartbreakingly beautiful. I loved the short chapters and was really rooting for Charlie all the way through. The character stories are good but I felt like some of them seemed important and then just dwindled out. I've got the other three in the series so I'm looking forward to reading them.

Well that was a long fucking ride. this book taught me a lot. to anyone out there that can relate to this book, I am so sorry. but I'm glad to say I can't, however this book did teach me a lot. I never knew that life could be THIS hard + the things people feel. 

the way this book was written made me realise that I can be really fucking gratefull and that makes me happy. 

but I do have to be truthfull, yes it's a really toughy subject but I still don't like these types of books. I love thrillers, tense and mystery books. this is not one of them. I really tried to guess what was going to happen, but I couldn't cause I couldn't find a good plot line in the writing. 
it's really unique but not my style. 

if you are into the moving, sad books then this is the one for you tho.
