Charlie knows you. Not personally, but he's heard a thing or two about you, and he thinks you would really understand some of this. Because this isn't like a diary, although it is similiar. And he doesn't know how much effect his will have on you, or if you even care, but he still feels he needs to share it with you, and he hopes you understand.

Well, Charlie, I understood. And I'm very greatful you decided to share this with me!

This is the story of Charlie, a boy who has just started his first year of high school. With this football star brother, and valedictorian sister, he feels completely overwelmed, especially since his only friend had commited suicide not so long ago.

Making friends with Patrick "or Nobody," depending on how far into the story you are)and soon after his sister Sam, he quickly blands into the group, and falls in love with not only Sam, but "the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

Patrick and Sam are constantly trying to get Charlie to "participate," but seeing as his only friends are all seniors and will soon be gone, he finds it a bit hard. He does try though. Honestly, with all the effort a 16 year old boy has!

In the epilogue, things quickly crash for Charlie, which lands him in the hospital... that is never a good experience.

This book waas awesome. Amazing. Touching. I read for hours on end, and once it was over, I was praying it wasn't. I felt like I could really relate to Charlie ... even though the point of the book was that he felt not many people really could relate to him.

Everyone, you really do need to participate in life. Patrick and Sam have had the right idea all along ...
