We learn about him through the letters he writes to someone of an undisclosed name, age and gender, a stylistic technique which adds to the heart-wrenching earnestness of the story. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating.

Charlie encounters many of the struggles familiar to everybody from their school days, from making friends, first crushes, experimenting with drugs and sexuality, but he must also deal with his best friend's suicide and a shocking realisation about his beloved late Aunt Helen which challenges his very grip on reality.

This is a funny, touching, memorable first novel which captures with resounding accuracy the voice of a boy teetering on the brink of adulthood. 0aHigh school studentsxSocial conditions vFiction926135 0aTeenagersvFiction926136 0aLettersvFiction926122 0aDiary fiction914285 0aEpistolary fiction926137 0aYoung adult fiction922863  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-10-13l0oP-EN CHBpB07681r2025-10-13t1w2025-10-13y1  c5039d5039
