There were two main themes in this novel. The first theme is no matter how hard something gets, it will get better. Whether it takes a week or a year, things will get better. This is shown by all of the struggles Charlie goes through and then finally gets better. The second theme is your happiness should not depend on other people.

RESOLUTION

The resolution of this novel is that Charlotte slowly starts to recover and begins to focus on her creativity and art. She also stopped self harming and Charlie was very happy. Even though it took a long time, Charlie fought and her life became so much better. Imagine if she didn't fight to get better and had all of her friends surrounding her, making her more positive. Imagine how upset her friends and family would be to lose Charlotte.
