Las ventajas de ser invisible
Loss (Psychology), Friendship, Juvenile fiction
Las cartas que escribe Charlie son íntimas y únicas, desternillantes y devastadoras. Puede que no sepamos dónde vive, ni a quién escribe pero, poco a poco, iremos conociendo su mundo a través de ellas: la vida en el instituto, las primeras citas, las cintas de varios, los dramas familiares y los nuevos amigos. Un mundo en el que solo es necesario dar con la canción perfecta mientras conduces para sentirte infinito--p. [4] of cover.
