"Does true love actually exist?" Charli Page loves her life as a waitress amongst the misfits in the jiggery-jaggery, poetry-laced fish restaurant in the heart of Hallowishes. Even though the owner, Alp, is a foul-tempered, sun-wrinkled fisherman with a flair for firing people, Charli is devoted to him and loves her job. She is so happy that she never wants things to change and even goes out of her way to ensure everything stays the same. Until a mysterious, old pirate hell bent on saving the world's oceans returns to town, bringing her superbly crafted submarine and wild ideas of how to save the world with her. Charli never imagines that this ocean of a woman will turn all of their lives upside down and change just about everything she holds dear in the name, or guise, of true love. Everlasting Charli intertwines questions of environmentalism, trust and true or half-true love. Is it possible to love everybody? And what of animals or planet Earth? The book also asks the readers to think about the nature of competition, and what exactly is that thread inside of us that wants to win. The related music album, found on all major streaming platforms, includes 3 instrumental tracks for you to make your own songs with.

Charli is an integral part of Bones, a fish restaurant that has been her second home since childhood. Her strong aversion to change endears her to the camaraderie she has found within its walls. Additionally, Charli maintains a diary in which she candidly recounts her experiences at Bones, including her interactions with her tempestuous boss, Alp. Things take an unexpected turn when Alp, in a reckless bet that puts the business at risk, decides to pursue a woman he�s long been interested in but hasn�t seen for ages. This twist adds a layer of complexity to the situation for everyone involved.
Everlasting Charli: Illustrated invites readers to contemplate the intricate facets of love, the sacrifices it demands, and the importance of having clear life objectives. Alongside these themes, the narrative touches upon broader subjects like environmentalism and personal growth. Love, as the story portrays, is a multifaceted emotionâ�"sometimes irrational, at other times an undeniable necessity. This ambivalence finds its embodiment in Alp, making him an intriguing character.
Clare-Rose Trevelyan skillfully crafts a cast of characters with diverse and well-defined personalities. For instance, Phia, Alp�s love interest, stands out as a sharp and determined woman with her own goals and passions. The story unfolds from Charli�s perspective, creating a personal connection that allows readers to glean insights from the experiences of others. A noteworthy feature of the book is its introduction, which provides character descriptions accompanied by photographs. This inclusion proves invaluable in keeping track of the rapidly evolving narrative. The visual presentation of the book is distinctive, with each page meticulously designed to resemble an authentic diary, replete with notes, drawings, photos, and collages. Although this style may appear somewhat busy and chaotic, it authentically mirrors a woman pouring her heart onto paper. It�s worth mentioning that while much of the narrative maintains a tranquil pace as it delves into life experiences, it still delivers unexpected twists and turns.
Everlasting Charli: Illustrated is a book that acknowledges the complexities of life, love, and personal development while offering inspiration for young adults navigating their own journeys. It reminds us that success and failure are both part of the human experience, and it encourages reflection on the choices we make in pursuit of our goals. For those who appreciate a compelling narrative with rich characters and profound themes, this book is a compelling and rewarding choice that will leave a lasting impact on its readers.
