This book is teenage fiction, but based on real events. It is
about the life of Charlie, a 16- year- old high school student, writing in
his diary. He is trying to fit in with people after his best friend Michael
committed suicide and his aunt (and “favourite person in the whole world”) died
in a car crash. The main characters are three friends: Charlie (sophomore) Sam
and Patrick (seniors), who later accept Charlie for who he is and become
friends. Sam is extremely pretty and has had a hard life before Patrick’s dad
married her mum. Patrick is a homosexual which is why he accepts Charlie even
though he’s different.
I like this book
because the author makes it very easy to relate to the characters. For example
when Charlie is in need of a friend, or when Sam gets treated badly by others.
Also the author makes us care about the characters, especially Charlie, and I
think it is extremely realistic.
