Charlie ist 15. Er geht auf Partys, trifft Freunde, besucht die Schule - alles ganz normal. Aber Charlie ist anders, er hat sich völlig in die Position des Beobachters begeben; in Briefen an einen ihm unbekannten Menschen beschreibt er sein Leben. Nur langsam lernt er, sich wirklich mit sich und einem dunklen Geheimnis in seiner Vergangenheit auseinanderzusetzen. Stephen Chboskys Erstlingsroman über Freundschaft, erste Liebe, Gewalt, Drogen, Sex und Alkohol trifft thematisch und sprachlich genau den Nerv von Jugendlichen.
