What an amazing book.

I really connected with this book. It’s about a boy called Charlie who writes these letters to an unknown person and they are all collected together over the course of his first year at high school.

He starts without friends and is a bit of a weirdo. But by the end of the book you can’t help but feel the same as this kid in some way.

Everyone feels like an outsider at school I think and yet we all box ourselves into ‘cliques’ and the strong pick on the weak and it’s just stupid because we’re all just the same.

That’s what I’ve come away from this book with anyway.
