I absolutely loved this book. The first letter was dated on what was my actual 13th birthday so I found the entire book extremely relatable since I was around the same age during the same time period. Even though I'm 35 now, Charlie's experiences and feelings felt genuine and brought all my memories from that time in my life rushing back. I especially liked how music and mixed tapes played into the story because my life is like that as well. I remember how powerful those emotions were at that age. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes an emotional read and especially for those who were teenagers in the 90's.
