I'm not really sure how to rate it, or even describe it. Easy read; felt like it was actually written BY a teenager. It might be one of those books I have to re-read at some point. But I felt like a teenager again reading it; trying to related to Charlie. I remember all those feelings of trying to fit in and find your place in this world. I remember not really understanding some "grown up" things but just going with the flow because everyone else seemed to know what they were doing.

It was funny at times, but seemed mostly sad. Ah, the joys of being a teenager.

I'll definitely be seeing the movie!
