The first conflict is Charlie's aunts death. He writes all these letters to a person and never says who it is. Then there's an argument between Charlie's family. His sister has a boyfriend who physically abuses her and she doesn't do anything about it. Her dad tells her to brake up with him but she denies it. Charlie covers up for her throughout the whole time.

REAL LIFE MESSAGE
The author was trying to tell the reader to not let anything stop you from doing what's right. Hurting yourself just to make someone else happy isn't the right thing to do because your not being honest with them.

PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY THIS BOOK
I think a teenager that really likes drama would like this book because its full of family drama and problems between friends. Someone really outgoing will enjoy this book because it includes sex, drugs, and the coming of age of a teenager.
STAR RATING
I give this book a 4 star rating because it really explains the order of coming of age for a teenager. The story of a freshmen and a senior, and the different point of views of their situations. The different ways they solve them really stands out and the difference between how they take things.
