As the book begins, Charlie is entering his freshman year of high school. Charlie writes letters to an anonymous person, and these writings are what the entire book is made up of. From the first letters, the reader can tell that he was not very happy to be in high school, but on the other hand he makes two friends who stay with him even after high school, Sam and Patrick.
