" '...Patrick started driving real fast, and just before we got to the tunnel, Sam stood up, and the wind turned her dress into ocean waves. When we hit the tunnel, all the sound got scooped up into a vacuum, and it was replaced by a song on the tape player. A beautiful song called "Landslide". When we got out of the tunnel, Sam screamed a really fun scream, and there it was. Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. Sam sat down and started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing.
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.'
Fifteen year old Charlie is having a hard time dealing with the death of his aunt Helen, who he cared deeply for, also starting high school, and we all know how that feels. But what's worse is that he has no friends to go through it with. His best friend, Michael, committed suicide in eighth grade and his other friend Bridget has moved on and changed like kids do. To help let his emotions out, Charlie writes anonymous letters to someone he knows. He writes about everything, and gives the people he talks about fake names. Charlie just wants someone to listen and understand him, like Aunt Helen did."
