Conflict:
I can said that the main conflict of the book is that Charlie has to deal with growing up, acting according to whether or not the other person would like or dislike his actions, instead of doing what he thinks is correct.
I like...
I like the story because it has lost of interesting themes such as Trauma affecting identity, easily influenced, living a teenage life, and finally teenage drug use. What I like about the writing of the story was that it included lots of mystery and drama which keep the reader interest with the things that where going on. Finally I would recommend this book to all the teenagers, because it has interesting topics that most of the teenagers live in the daily life.
