Talk about inspiring. This got me so emotional too and the ending is just so unexpected :(
Carson Phillips is the standard outcast teen with big dreams. Stuck in a high school with people he hates and living in a town in the middle of nothing and nowhere, all he has is his ambition and hopes for a better future than the past he’s experiences. His application to his chosen university needs something more, so he sets up a literary magazine which requires written pieces from other students, a somewhat impossible feat. In true Carson-style, he turns to blackmailing all the popular kids to get what he needs to finally leave his hometown of Clover. Chris Colfer has truly created a fabulous character and plot. This book is one of my all-time favourites. It’s hilarious, moving, insightful and poignant. It stays with you long after you’ve finished reading, and certainly makes you look at things in a different light. Warning, the ending will have you in (lots of) tears.
