Mmm... As much as I liked the first 3 volumes, this one wasn't for me. I found it much too melodramatic and lacking in realism. The fact that Charlie and Nick are 15 and 16 years old, respectively, makes their relationship a bit too ‘extra' at times. Plus, things took a sharp turn from the lightheartedness of the previous books with Charlie's mental deterioration and Nick's desperate attempts to ‘save' him.

Others might find this topic interesting, but it's not to my taste.
