Have you ever read a book that u actually felt like filled with your thoughts or those words which you couldn't be bold enough to speak them out? Well, this definitely is one kind of book. Some stories are never complete. Honestly, this book has nothing to do with innovative ideas or great scribe of letters put together. Its the envelope of innocence, simplicity, candor of a high-school kid's thoughts put into much effortless captivating words.
I won't reveal much about the plot but it includes the classes of friendship, fear, love, what not? everything that shows the transition between a naive kid to a mature minded person. Charlie is the person who narrates the story and its from his perspective the story is weaved. He makes two good friends Sam and Patrick who become part of his family eventually.
I liked the way how friendship is unmistakably put into plain explanation jumbling with thoughts. The writer was successful in keeping the reader focused right from the first page such that you start thinking from his view and live it like its own. Everyone has friends but how exactly can you pick a random call to your friend anytime of the day having no reason but just to blabber and listen what he/she says in return and consider that the other person doesn't think your disturbance is actual disturbance? There's a difference. Let me tell you its exceptional. Cherish them. I can bluntly name a few in my fingertips and its this silent promise I make to them of standing up for them no matter what odds. How amazing is that? Some good laughs. Some jokes. Some definitions. Some serious talks about matters of heart shared with them often becomes unique.
In the course of life, ways may part. We come across heartbreaks, betrayal, clouds of darkness that blows us hard on the face. It happens with everyone. But the warmth, the love, the giggles, the comfort, the connectivity, the serenity, the elatedness and the uplift will always finds its way. May be late. May be when we're on certain urge of giving up on our passion, then these are going to keep us sane.
They are certain words in the book that left me thinking. Really, they were just sentences but definitely had its own story in them.
Few thoughts, few lines, few expressions bring commotion for keep drowning in it word by word.
My favorite quotes from the book:
- So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
- We accept the love we think we deserve.
- “He’s my whole world.”
“Don’t ever say that about anyone again. Not even me.” - Sometimes, I read a book, and I think am the people in the book.
- And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.( THIS!!! is my most fav one)
- And the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.
- I think it was the first time in my life I ever felt like I looked “good.” Do you know what I mean? That nice feeling when you look in the mirror, and your hair’s right for the first time in your life?
- Things change. And friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody
- “I would die for you. But I won’t live for you.”
- Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough.
