Reread July 2017
I forgot how amazing this book is. Listening to the audiobook really just reminded me how much I loved it. If you ever get the chance to listen to the audiobook, do it because it's absolutely amazing. I love Charlie. I love this book. I will definitely listen to it again.

Hmmm. This is a really hard one. I did really enjoy this book and it was amazing but, it was not the most amazing thing ever. I think I would give it a 4.85, or something around there. It's not quite a 5 though. I think it's one of those books that I have to let simmer for a little bit before I can think about my complete thoughts. Gah...really, this is hard. Great book.

Edit: (Like five minutes after writing the first one) So I thought about it and I could only think of it like this: There are certain books out there that you love, and I mean REALLY LOVE but you can't give it a 5. It's frustrating, completely frustrating. But still, you can't do it. Why? Why can't you do it? Because these books are usually emotionally draining. They pick up your heart and throw it down thousands of times. There are books like this that you have to give a 5 but most of the time the ones you can't give a 5 to are blunt. Rude, nasty,gross and sometimes even disgusting. They hurt. You just have to dock them down for doing that to you. But, in some odd way, that's the way the book is supposed to be. It doesn't have to be a 5 star to be perfect because it's not. It's not perfect at all, it's reality.

This is how I feel about this book.
