"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite"

I love that quote.

High School freshman Charlie is shy, socially awkward, introverted despite being intelligent beyond his years. Charlie is a wallflower, who watch life pass him by without knowing whether he wants to be a part of it, or if he wants to run from it. Throughout the novel, he goes into unknown territories; first dates, mixtapes, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. But he can't stand on the dancefloor forever, and through this lovely coming-of-age story he is soon center stage

I want to get one thing straight: this is a very simply written and small story. The modesty of it is endearing and it does not promise to be something it is not. It's a very general book and I think readers of different ages will be left with something different, as I think it demands quite a bit of reading between the lines. I don't want to reveal the structure of it, because it was one of the pleasant surprises I encountered, but I recommend everyone to give it a try, and patience is key. The problem with this novel, for me, is that it doesn't IMPRESS. It's good. It's sweet. It's pleasant. But it's not impressive.

It's a feel-good novel (in MY opinion) and it had me laughing (probably at the wrong this, because I do that), "awwww"-ing and sighing throughout the entire read and I'm left with those memories and some great new music to my iPod!
