Laid my face on the book and just started sobbing. I feel empty and sick and upset in the best way possible. I am disabled and found Charlie to be very relatable at certain points, and the book offered an interesting perspective on parts I couldn't relate to. The story is truly heartbreaking :( Can't wait to read this book again
Graphic: Ableism, Child abuse, and Physical abuse
