AHHHHHH OMGGGG!!! I can’t wait!!!😭

Hayat

Early on in the book, Tom describes the type of girls he notices his brothers bring around. For Eliot, he says “Eliot has a habit of choosing stage-five clingers”. And then proceeds to say that a girl tried to do their laundry the morning after. Is there something you guys imagine Charlie has dealt with regarding a girl he’s had over that makes you guys giggle (since basically every interaction we’ve seen a girl have with him is a non giggling matter 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂)

Lauren

Aside from Connor/Rose/Oscar, who knows about Charlie’s cleithrophobia?

Hayat

Was the promise Charlie made to Beckett about not fraternizing with people from the ballet in French?

Lucia

What's Charlie's favorite thing about Tom? And Phoenix? And their relationship?

Hayat

It was rlly interesting going from Ben’s pov of Charlie in BB to Tom’s in SS and seeing how differently the brothers understand Charlie. Ben seems to struggle to look past the ways Charlie hurts him, whereas Tom can recognize that Charlie’s intelligence and the way his mind works may actually be part of what he struggles with. When Tom says: “But it’s hard to say I don’t excuse our oldest brother. When Charlie aims for the jugular like he’s hoping to be stabbed back, the first thing I think is, his mind seems like a prison he’s trying to escape. And I end up just thanking the gene pool lottery that I don’t have an IQ comparable to our dad’s.” Obviously Charlie’s intelligence is the root of a lot of his frustration, but does Charlie ever genuinely wish his mind worked differently, or is the frustration more about feeling like no one around him can fully understand what it’s like to live inside his head?

Hayat

You guys mentioned that one of the main reasons why Charlie is more bothered by Benriet vs st cobalt is because Benriet has more of the love Charlie craves. I’m curious if you guys would be willing to share a piece of media you think Charlie would have looked at and been like “I want that”. Like maybe he was watching xyz show and saw xyz scene etc etc.

Ash

How did Charlie know Phoenix knew French when they were all in the car?

Hayat

In honor of it being his birthday month, can you guys share what Charlie’s dream birthday looks like?

Elisha

Do you think that Charlie felt incredibly proud of Tom when he attended several of The Carraways’s concerts? (I like to think that he did🥹)

Nabeeha

If Charlie knows about Leo and Beckett’s little situation🤭 does this mean he knows whatever is happening between Beckett and Jo?!🥹

Elisha

Is Charlie aware that Tom has caught on to the fact that he seems to stick to a routine e.g when Tom mentions in Ch.11 that Charlie often reads his book near a stream.

Emily DeRuyter

Charlie pushed thatcher (and jane joined) to answer questions about himself and his relationship, even forcing him to eat rabbit hearts in Jane’s books. In Tom’s book, phoenix and tom similarly hid part of their relationship from Tom’s brothers including Charlie and yet they never gave him as hard of a time as they gave thatcher. Was this because you didn’t have narrative time to introduce thatcher within the cobalt empire series?

mills

Yessss please please please!!!

Elisha

What was Charlie thinking when Tom mentioned Roxanne in Ch. 9 and the ‘curious glimmer in his eye’ was mentioned.

Elisha

How on earth did Charlie know that Leo was texting Tom?😭I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s got xray vision at this point lol🤣

mills

Does Charlie spend more time at Jane’s now considering he is very good with Maeve?

Emily DeRuyter

Additionally, could you speak to how easily accepted a significant other is accepted into the family

Z

When Tom says Charlie has zero friends (l couldn't stop laughing, he's so funny throughout the book) it got me thinking and if it's not too spoilery can you tell us if Charlie has any friends? Like outside his family is there people he meets up with in the countries he travels to etc?

Elisha

How did the conversation go when Charlie banned Tom and Eliot because of the turkey sandwich? I know it’s not necessarily in SS and is only mentioned, but I need to know🤣

page

charlie said a few things in a different language that were never expanded on - can you tell us what language and what was said at all?

Malawayy

I don’t believe it was in French but i remember reading somewhere that when Charlie and Beckett promise something to each other it is never broken no matter what language.

Marisa

What was Charlie’s favorite tour stop during his time as a Carraways groupie?

Marisa

What is Charlie’s mental state at the beginning of SS vs the end of SS?

Marisa

What is Charlie’s favorite and least favorite thing about Phoenix?

Marisa

What was Charlie’s rose and thorn for the year covering silver sweet?

Marisa

We know Charlie doesn’t really have any friends. By the end of SS would he consider Phoenix to be his friend?

Hayat

Would you guys say that one of the main reasons why Charlie is currently honoring the promise he made to Beckett is because he feels like what he feels for Roxanne has the potential to be more than just initial attraction? Like at this point both Ben and Tom have commented on how Charlie is visibly interested in Roxanne. But is his promise to Beckett the ONLY thing keeping him from acting on it? Or is this also maybe tied to his masochistic tendencies?

Marisa

Will we ever know what became of Charlie’s RV that he bought during Wild Like Us? 😂

Marisa

Did Charlie attend the summer family yacht trip?

Marisa

What was Charlie’s favorite moment during the Carraway’s show? Any particular song? Stunt?

Z

Which of the previous addicted/calloway books would you say Charlie and Roxanne’s book will be like? Do you think their book will be more angsty or lighthearted?

Z

I know Charlie doesn’t always want to talk to other people or explain himself but will he be different in a relationship?

Z

If you could use one word to describe Charlie as a boyfriend what would it be? And also one word for Roxanne as a girlfriend

Marisa

Did Beckett tell Charlie about his conversation with Tom in Chapter 57?

Z

What did Charlie think of Phoenix when they were all in the car together?

loulou

nooo i really wanted Beckett, I find him wayyy more intriguing than Charlie ☹️☹️☹️

Marisa

Without being too spoilery…what is one word that Charlie would use to describe Leo by the end of Ss?

Yasti

“during his time as a Carraways groupie” Marisa I’m dying 😭

Marisa

I mean…was he not 😂😂😂😂

page

this is not really silver sweet related but we got to see his bedroom which is filled with books - would he have a good reads? if so what would be on it? and what sort of books are his favourite? :)

Marisa

Did Charlie enjoy his trip to Rotterdam? What did he do while he was there? Did Jack join him and Oscar?

Marisa

During his conversation with Tom while he was flying to Rotterdam, did Charlie really lose cell service, or did he just hang up on Tom?

page

im assuming charlie knows about beckets situation with leo and possibly jo? if so, how does he feel knowing that becket is getting involved with people from the ballet whereas becket has fully banned charlie from doing so - does he feel like beck is being a hypocrite in a way?

marelyn 💕

Does Charlie strive to be Maeve’s favorite uncle or did it just happen naturally? Since his personality is soooo fun 😂. I would love to read more scenes of him bonding with baby Maeve ❤️

Marisa

What did Charlie do for his 25th birthday?

Can Na

Will Charlie ever learn about Tom mentioning him to Roxanne? Maybe this could be a moment in a bonus chapter. I’d love to see Charlie’s reaction.

Darby

How does Charlie feel about Audrey? Of course he loves and cares about her but in silver sweet we see he definitely doesn’t want her in NY and I’m wondering if he’s feeling more worried about her or annoyed with her.

Marisa

Why did Charlie install a lock on his bedroom door? Was there any specific event that lead to that?

Marisa

Which did Charlie enjoy doing more…recording the play for Eliot, or helping Luna study?

Marisa

At the end of SS did Charlie ever consider that Ben may have disappeared again, or did he always know that something else must have been going on?

frannypack

Charlie made the deal with eliot to give him a curfew if he recorded reading aloud the play for him. Can you share what charlies main objective with that was? To keep girls out of apartment or to keep a tighter leash on eliot or something else?

frannypack

Can we rank the most irritating sibling moments for charlie (on whatever scale we can rate rotting turkey sandwich, gave away milk, took coat, closed the elevator door, etc sibling things)

Lily💌

during the WND when Audrey says she’ll stay in the dorms, Charlie says something along the lines of great do that. Would he actually have approved of/been okay with her staying in the dorms?

Aldana

In the cobalt ritual bonus scene, Ben asks Beckett something along the lines of “do you think romance is a disease just like Charlie thinks friendship is one?” And in the escape room scene (I think or at least somewhere in BB) Charlie says by my definition of friend you only have 1 and points at Harriet. Does this mean that Charlie only considers friendship in the romantic sense to be worthwhile to him or possibly the only kind of friendship he is capable of cultivating outside that of his family and Oscar ?

Aldana

What is Charlie’s favorite color?

Aldana

How does Charlie like to spend his time when he’s not busy trying to fix his brothers’ messes 😅

Aldana

Addendum: both on travels and in NY

Aldana

Does Charlie derive enjoyment from hooking up ? Or is it a means to some other end ? This question comes up particularly when we see him in BB allowing a random guest of Eliot’s to grab at him.

Aldana

When did Charlie get the coffee from Columbia 👀

Aldana

Can you tell us more about Charlie as an uncle to Maeve ? The dichotomy between abrasive brother and caring uncle is so Charlie I love it but I wanna know what he does with her? Like read her stories engage in playtime with her pertaining to her age milestones ? 🥹🫰🏻

Aldana

If Charlie was a plant what plant would he be?

Aldana

What’s Charlie’s favorite food and dessert ?

Aldana

An observation: when Charlie tugs his own hair out of frustration from his own thoughts or irritation from external factors it draws a stark contrast to the scenes in the winter break bonus scene and hot tub scene specifically where Harriet is running her fingers affectionately through Ben’s hair. I just really want someone to comfort Charlie that way cuz my guy is desperate for that kind of affection clearly😭🫰🏻

Aldana

I just realized most of my qs are not from silver sweet sorry 😭

Haylee

yessss

Haylee

Is the Luna & Charlie friendship still going strong as of bb & ss? How often do they hang out what do they do together? Has their dynamic changed or evolved?

Haylee

Goodness so hard to come up with non spoiler questions lmao

Haylee

Is Charlie aware of Connors adderall use and that also why he wanted Tom to talk Connor?

R

Yay!! I love Charlie! 1. How would Charlie compare Harriet and Phoenix? What are traits they share that he likes/dislikes? What are some differences in their characters that make him closer to Phoenix? 2. Could you share some insight into your decision to make Phoenix closest to Charlie/Beckett? I really appreciated you didn’t go with the ‘obvious’ choice of making him closest to Eliot! 3. What were Charlie’s thoughts on Harriet’s mother coming to their apartment? I know you can’t spoil, but could you reveal if he was really as callous/unperturbed as he came across on the phone? 4. What was your favourite Charlie scene from SS? And maybe super spoilery but is there a big difference in him in SS vs. LL? 5. Was it hard for Charlie to choose to go on tour with Tom rather than stay at home for Ben? Is this something he had to deliberate with Beckett? How did he keep tabs on Ben while he was away, or was he less concerned about him by this time? 6. Is Charlie’s go-to McDonald’s order a filet-o-fish? Does he eat fast food often? 7. My biggest reach: could you give us a little nugget on why Roxanne was so adamantly against speaking to Charlie when Tom suggested it?

Miriam

So excited! Maybe this has been asked already, but can you talk a bit more about the scene with Charlie and Phoenix and the random girl. It reminded me a lot of a similar scene in BB in terms of not respecting boundaries. Do you think their behavior is because they think they know Charlie and because of that they have access to him or are entitled to him? Or do you think it is something else ? Does this happen a lot (Charlie seemed completely desensitized to it)?

Marisa

We know that Charlie is great with kids and is Maeve’s favorite uncle. At this point in the timeline, does he also have a special bond with Ripley and Cassidy? Is he the closest of all Maximoff’s cousins (aside from Jane) to them? Does he ever babysit them if other Hales are unable to?

Marisa

By the end of SS Luna and Xander have been living in Charlie’s building for a year and a half. At this point does he enjoy having Luna nearby to hangout with, since he is closer to her than most of his other cousins? Or does he see the Hales as more of a burden that he’s responsible for keeping safe?

Marisa

We know that Charlie goes to fundraiser events at the ballet to support Beckett (as seen in chapter 57). We also know that he’s not friends with anyone at the ballet. He’s also not hanging out with Beckett all night since he’s working. So what does Charlie actually do at these events?

Teresa

Charlie didnt show much of a reaction when Tom told him Harriets mom showed up at the apartment, was he really not concerned or was he just playing it down for Tom? Also does Charlie believe that Harriet would go back to how she was before in having transactional sex even though she's dating Ben?

Teresa

If Roxanne had went over to Charlie like Tom suggested and started to talk to him, what would Charlie have done?

Marisa

During WND when Audrey stated she was moving to NYC, what was Charlie’s bigger concern…Audrey moving to NYC and getting into trouble, or Ben not being able to handle the stress of Audrey living in NYC and this severely effecting his ocd.

Marisa

Proposed 😂😂

Jess

What does Charlie think about Tom being so open and comfortable about his sex life with the brothers? We can see that Charlie feels like Tom may have difficulty setting boundaries and taking on more than he is comfortable with (so proud of Tom for communicating his experience to Pheonix) does he feel more protective knowing this, does he like that Tom shares so that he knows what's going on, or does he ever feel like Tom shares too much?

Marisa

Charlie spilled Tom’s sexual history to Phoenix so easily because he thought that Tom was too prideful to do it himself. Would Charlie have revealed similar details about Audrey, Ben, or Eliot if it was their crush/hookup who was in the car with him?

Jess

In terms of his motivation, how much of Charlie recording an audio script of the play for Eliot was to help accommodate Eliot's dyslexia versus taking the opportunity to enforce a curfew for Eliot?

Marisa

Are Tom and Eliot also banned from Charlie’s bedroom at Cobalt Estate?

Aldana

This. We need to know 👀

Aldana

“Then there’s Charlie. Most of his hookups come and go like shadows. I’ve never really nailed down his type. My oldest brother is an enigma to more than just the public. Eliot thinks Charlie would date any girl off the street—but I don’t agree. If he wasn’t looking for something specific, I’d think Charlie would have a girlfriend by now.” What specific thing is Charlie looking for ?

Aldana

“Intel,” Charlie repeats. “Because I’m waiting with bated breath for what little you know about a girl who means nothing to me.” What does it mean for Charlie when someone means nothing to him.?Because clearly his higher IQ has a different perspective on what ‘nothing’ means.

Aldana

In chapter 9 of silver sweet how did Charlie instantly know Leo was texting Tom without looking at his phone or Tom saying anything? Does it have anything to do with the way Beckett walked in ? Can we assume that there’s something that occurred out of the scene that Beckett probably told Charlie about that could have lead Charlie to make an educated guess that most likely Leo was the one contacting Tom in that instance and not RJ?

Teresa

What can you tease about how Charlie sees Birdie in the beginning of Loathed love ?

Aldana

“The city might contain millions and stretch for miles, but it’s not big enough that I haven’t run into Charlie reading at the Ramble by the stream. He has spots. Routines.” After observing Charlie from the POV of his siblings we come to see that even though he’s notorious for being the “ Houdini” of the family he’s always on the periphery of his siblings’ lives especially when it is evident they are struggling in some way and may need to be helped. Can we deduce based on this that his routines and his spots are strategic to allow him to be within reach to the people he cares about without making them feel like he’s crowding them or invading their space? He also says this in the earlier chapters in Tom’s pov in reference to making himself scarce during the burn bright period so as not to “provoke Ben to punch a wall”

Aldana

We’ve only experienced Charlie from someone else’s perspective. How different is the Charlie inside his own head from the Charlie everyone else sees?

Aldana

When Charlie says something harsh, how often is what he says different from what he actually feels?

Aldana

“There is only one aimless brother in our apartment. I mean, I am sure there are goals inside Charlie’s genius brain, but he hasn’t shared them with us. Other than the goal of disappearing from vital obligations. Which he’s not achieving as much anymore. Which makes him very goalless.” If Charlie’s previous goal of disappearing from vital obligations is gone, can we assume his new goal is to make himself more present in his siblings’ lives? This is showing so much growth in Charlie’s character since the like us series when he was begging Moffy and Jane to move to NY when Elliott and Tom we’re moving to NY and discussions of when Luna was considering to as well. Does this indicate he is bearing more responsibility and maybe off scene strengthened his relationship with Moffy as he can now relate to him more as responsible eldest brother ?

Nini

this is not silver sweet question but i been wondering for years what does charlie think of religion

Nini

does charlie know bethanne?

Lucia

What is Charlie's opinion on Beckett and Jo? If it's too spoilery, can we at least know if he's worried it may affect his friendship with Oscar?

Lucia

If you could define his relationship with Ben during silver sweet with one word, which one would it be?

Lucia

Has Charlie's friendship/ dynamic with Jack evolved since CLU? How would you say it's grown? I was thinking the other day if Charlie has ever been to Brazil with Oscar before. I feel like it would be a great trip to bring jack along to film his travel videography so he can visit Oscar's roots together . If this ever happened I'd need to read about it

Lucia

If asked, what would he say is the biggest flaw of each member of the Cobalt Empire? Including himself And the best trait? (I feel like he wouldn't want to answer this one but id love to know)

Lucia

Has Oscar ever talked to charlie about the Jo-beckett situation? Like tell your twin to back off hahaha

Laci Hammond

will we see more charlie and connor interactions in the future?

Kayleigh

How’s Charlie’s relationship like with Harriet during the timeline?

Marisa

Charlie and Beckett’s entrance into the club scene was one of my favorite parts of the book. I could see Charlie coming down the stairs, and Beckett appearing in the strobe lights, almost like I was watching a movie. One of my favorite aspects of that part was that Phoenix had no idea who Charlie was, but was able to deduce that he was Tom’s brother just because he looks so much like tom. Other than their hair color, what about Charlie’s appliance clued Phoenix in?

AJ

And is that curfew still in place as of the end of silver sweet? And did Eliot ever break it?

Has

Is Charlie the only brother that promised not to fraternize with becketts coworkers? If he is, was the promise made after Beckett realized he liked Roxy? Why else would only Charlie have to promise when I feel like Eliot is much more likely to hook up with one of them.

Has

I think it’s mentioned that Charlie is supposed to take on the role of CEO for cobalt inc when he turns 25. Now that he’s 25 will we learn more about this in loathed love? (Am I wrong about the age? I forgot which book/bonus mentions this)

Lucia

Why is Joana so adverse to Charlie? I kind of understand towards Beckett but we've seen Jo call him the king of assholes so I'd like to know if there's any history there or what has she seen that made her reach that conclusion. Does she know Oscar is his friend?

Lucia

Did Charlie meet Guy when he went to the honors house to get Harriet's stuff?

Lucia

I'd love a LL tease hehe. In BB, through Ben's eyes we got to see a version of charlie that was harsher and less enjoyable as we could feel how Ben did not find amusement in his comments. But in SS we got so see a much funnier side of him, Tom let almost every comment roll of his back and fired back which led to pretty fun interactions. I want to know if in LL, through Audrey's eyes, what side of Charlie would you say we're getting?

Maria S

What does Charlie like about Phoenix and Tom's relationship. What was the point he realised that Tom and Phoenix were serious about each other. Can you talk about Charlie's relationship with Luna and how it's growing behind the scenes in burn bright and silver sweet. 1

Marisa

Is Charlie still editing Luna’s stories? After her assault Charlie stated that her grammar regressed due to her amnesia, so he made her notes to help correct her more frequent mistakes. Would he say that her grammar is now back to where it was pre-assault?

Marisa

Now that the Cobalt brothers have a tv in their living room again, would Charlie ever be found chilling on the couch binging a show?

Maria S

What does Charlie like about Phoenix.

Aldana

Will we ever get Rose presenting the evolution of style albums of Ben, Tom and Audrey to Harriet, Phoenix and Birdie? It was such a cute moment when she did that when Thatcher and Jane were official ☺️

frannypack

for real. Is he a little entertained at least? I can't get the fact out of my head that he actually laughed when jo did the whole mattress on your back routine for the first time.

frannypack

In ss tom mentions that charlie has had to take paternity tests. We also saw in clu that a girl was trying to claim he was the father. I was wondering if we could get a rough timeline on the first time this happened and how long its being going on. The way they deal with it? I guess reactions, thoughts and feelings would be better experienced in the series or bonus, but can you share any details on the common knowledge stuff tom mentions in ss. I'm assuming this and the precautions he has to take is why connor didn't give him the safe sex chat in the hot tub scene. Can we assume this significantly affects his dating life/ desensitization to sexual advances?

frannypack

Charlie is always perceived as this agitated, enigma/ genius. So my favorite things to see is when he is doing something really normal or mundane. That scene in the like us books of him playing catan and asking for sheep for example or anytime we get a genuine smile out of him. Do you have any favorite Charlie small moments like that?

Marisa

What is your favorite line from Charlie in SS? What is your favorite scene with him (aside from the club scene)?

Nini

when tom mentioned charlie bringing girl home i got curious of how much do brothers know about charlies sex life? are they all aware?

Nini

since tom told roxanne to go talk to charlie bevaude he needs friends would beckett mind them being friends?

Haylee

Can we know when the promise was made between Charlie and Beckett?

Haylee

Does Charlie know about what Tom said to Roxanne? what was his reaction?

Haylee

Can we know anyyyy thoughts of Charlie’s thoughts on Leo & Beckett. The scene where Leo texted Tom was so damn intriguing

Haylee

How is Charlie handling being at home more instead of travelling to keep any eye on his brothers? we know that following Tom on tour was a needed reprieve from being at home maybeee to get away from Ben and Harriet?

Haylee

When Audrey is proposing at dinner she really wants to move in and move to nyc what are his biggest concerns? He was so harsh with her! Would Charlie prefer her live in the dorms?

Haylee

Does Charlie perceive Audrey or Ben to be more naive and reckless?

Teresa

When you chose Roxanne to be Charlies LI did you write out romantic scenes to make sure the chemistry was there before officially confirming them?

Haylee

When Charlie tells Tom to stop taking Adderall, does he see his own drug use as different from Tom’s dependence on Adderall? does believe he’s above dependence on any?

mary

To me, it seemed Charlie was way more accepting of phoenix than Harriet (if you ignore the clothing searching lol), was it just because he had already gone through that entire situation with Ben and knew now it was important to be more accepting of his brothers partners or is there another reason?

mary

There’s loads of fan theories that Charlie and Roxanne will be the closest parallel to Lily and Lo out all the couples you’ve written so far, if it isn’t a spoiler, could you say if this theory is correct, somewhat correct or not entirely the case

mary

Somewhat a Charlie question: will we ever see a storyline of the siblings not speaking for a long period of time? Truthfully, if I was Audrey I would’ve been way more upset of what he said at dinner in SS but I know typically your books are always HEA, however I could totally see a storyline of Audrey “cutting” ties with Charlie even if it was a small character arc, would that be a possibility? (If that isn’t too spoilery)

Haylee

Okay this is more of an observation but i’d love to know what you guys think. I’ve always wondered Charlie’s love language and would it be different with Roxanne than is siblings, because i think Charlie shows he cares through actions and showing up because he would prefer to be somewhere else. Do you think this is true from what we see of him through silver sweet? Charlie would sooo roll his eyes at this question hahaha

Haylee

What does Charlie usually bring to the convo before he hangs up on the three way calls?

Gloria

Phoenix evolves from a 14-day-lifespan to a year. How does Charlie view him at the end of Silver Sweet? What does he think about Phoenix’ sixth sense in sensing bullshit 😉

Nini

since you said once that compant calling roxanne bad anne was charlies thorn what would his reaction be to tom and phoenix not being nicest people to her

fxshelbii

What is Charlie’s favourite song on Silver Sweet album (do not say he would say none he has to have one surely like if he thought about it hard enough!)

fxshelbii

In the scene when Ben is missing at the end of SS and Tom has his breakdown, Charlie is the one to tell Tom he has unresolved trauma from the time Ben left. Did Charlie always suspect this? I assume he was clued in a little with the amount of times through SS that Tom was nervous/freaked out he might drive Ben away but when did Charlie decide it was trauma instead of just temporary anxiety/worry? Also Charlie doesn’t show his empathy but could you tell us what he was thinking when he saw just how affected Tom was? Was he just annoyed at Toms ‘overreacting’ or was he more concerned at Toms Mental state than he let on? - I’m assuming a bit of both like he wanted Tom to stop but obviously it was hinted him + Beckett + Phoenix have spoken about Toms mental state well Phoenix was away

fxshelbii

Tom states Eliot can often fool Audrey and Ben that he can sometimes read when in reality he can’t. Obviously Charlie knows he can’t as he filmed the play for him. But is Charlie aware Eliot pretends he can? I’m assuming also yes and if so I’m honestly surprised Charlie hasn’t bursted that bubble and pointed it out. My question is if the answer to the last question is yes then why has Charlie kept it to himself? I feel like even just out of irritation that’s something he would have pointed out. But I might be wrong.

fxshelbii

Charlie’s opinions on Tom & Phoenixs relationship please and thank you.🙏

Nini

tom said he doesnt know charlies type if asked about his type what would charlie say

Piper

Was there a specific reason why the girl (during the party) called Charlie, Keating? I was a bit surprised that a stranger would call Charlie by his middle name.

Nini

it seems that charlie is maeves favorite uncle is he aware of that? does he like spending time with her?

🕷️

If Charlie were to spend a day with either Harriet, Phoenix or Birdie who would he choose and why?

🕷️

If Charlie and Roxanne were to be trapped in an elevator (without Oscar) how would Charlie react in this current timeline

Lucia

This isn't a solely charlie question so feel free to ignore it. But could you talk a bit about the Cobalt brothers as drivers? I feel like we've only seen Ben drive and the accident happened so I'd love to know who you think is the best driver or their styles of driving

Teresa

What are the names of some of Charlies favorite architects?

Gloria

Not a Charlie question but can you let us know if you will reveal which brother the fourth book is about before Loathed Love releases?

Marisa

When Charlie, Beckett, and Phoenix have 3 ways calls, what do they talk about other than tom?

Aldana

When Tom told Roxanne “I meant Charlie… He would love it” and her face fell and she said “I’m not sure he would” Does this mean that Charlie has interacted with Roxanne in the past and has said or done something that has given her the impression that he doesn’t enjoy her company?

a

can we talk abbot how maeve loves charlie so much!! like why is charlie so good with kids

Teresa

If Charlie and Audrey were to hang out for the night at the apartment what movie would they watch and what food would they eat?

Morgan and Maria

Do you have any songs you listen to atm for Charlie? Whether it be songs associated with specific moments or songs that are in the catalogue for when you get to his book??

Maria S

Does Charlie know about Phoenix's insomnia and can you discuss on how it's going and whether it's getting better

Leia (Roxanne’s version)

Charlie says this during the meeting in his room: “And why would I want a wrecking ball anywhere near me?” I just find it so funny that he’s going to end up with Roxanne who is literally clumsy. Was this line just a coincidence or was it done on purpose?

Marisa

I loved how SS took place over a full year. What is Charlie’s favorite season/time of year in nyc?

Marisa

It was such a treat getting a full scene in Charlie’s room at the Hell’s Kitchen apartment. Can you give us a little tease of what Charlie’s childhood bedroom in Cobalt Estate is like?

AJ

We know how much Charlie went to the Carraway shows, but how often was he going to Amadeus during SS? And did he think it was any good?

AJ

How’s he liking his new doorbell??

Sarah

Could you offer any insight into Charlie’s relationship with Harriet now that she’s been in his life for over a year, and his thoughts on the situation with her mum? It made me think of the bonus scene where Charlie and Moffy talk about how their parents had “encountered real evil, but the worst kind of evil was the one that was partly good,” referring to their grandparents. Charlie talks about how the way their parents were raised “caused trauma on an entire lineage,” and how Connor and Lo raising their own families was “purely in contrast to how they were raised.” I LOVE this bonus and the insight it gives into how Charlie thinks, especially how he perceives Connor. That generational trauma also affects Harriet, so I’d love to know whether Charlie feels for her in that sense. But then he’s so rude to Harriet in the hot tub bonus, and aloof and offensive when Tom calls him on the plane. I’d just love a little more insight into how Charlie actually feels about Harriet and what their relationship is like now.

Sarah

Does Charlie enjoy the music that The Carroways create? Is he a punk rock fan? If The Carraways had a song which incorporated piano in the next album, and Tom asked him to play for the track, would he say yes to lending his talents? Does Charlie know about the bar brawl that Eliot and Tom got into in Brooklyn to defend his honour? Upon learning that Tom was taking adderall, why was Charlie’s immediate thought to tell and involve his dad, over both his parents? What were Charlie’s immediate thoughts upon hearing that Ben had disappeared again… was there any part of him that for a split second believed that Ben had disappeared again?

Sarah

When Charlie says that he only has two siblings who would “put their pride above their own well-being” - one being Tom, and I am assuming the other is Audrey. I and interested in knowing why Charlie wouldn’t group Eliot in with this also. Especially as, in my opinion, what happened in the Hamptons is a textbook example of Eliot putting pride before his well being. Does this go to show that Eliot is elusive and mysterious even to his own brothers - does Charlie not see Eliot in a clear light or does he only see what Eliot allows him to see.

Gloria

How close are Charlie and Oscar? Do they confide in each other regulary?

Marisa

😂

Aldana

Do you remember what the bonus scene is called? I don’t know if I’ve read it

Sarah

Of course, it’s Extra Bonus #44: Lake House Honeymoon Aftermath - Part Three

Teresa

If Birdie can play the piano , who is better him or Charlie?

Marisa

I’ve noticed that Charlie is quick to start pulling at his clothes or removing them in certain situations. This even happens in the latest silly string (Ben pov) bonus. Does he feel restrained by his clothes? Is this related to his phobia of confinement?

On charlies travels is it mostly just leisurely, or does he have events or engagements that are time sensitive? Like when he has to last minute cancel a trip is he missing something specific. I remember he used to volunteer so wondering if he is still doing things like that.

frannypack

How would you day charlie is with his money, especially since we get some insight on tom and eliot? We know hw has a Paris property and his own plane. Is he making his own money passively with investments perhaps?

Haylee

When Charlie found out Tom was abusing adderall he immediately went to call Connor but when Beckett was using coke he didn’t and instead rallied his cousins and siblings for help instead. Can you explain a little more of his reasoning?

Haylee

As of the end of SS which younger sibling is he keeping his eye on the most? i’d assume Audrey but Eliot is chaos incarnate

Haylee

What’s Charlie’s fav song of Toms? Also when he went to see Tom on tour was that his first time at a rock concert? how did he find it?

Marisa

In the silly string (Ben pov) bonus Charlie tells Beckett to sleep in his room that night. Does Charlie keep his room clean enough to meet Beckett’s standards? Did Charlie sleep on the couch in the living room that night, or did he stay in his room with Beckett? Also, I would LOVE to see this night continue from Beckett and/or Charlie’s POVs once we have them.

Marisa

We find out during the big club scene that Charlie was in the VIP area of the club that night. We also see Beckett emerge from the dance floor of the club. I assume that Beckett and Charlie went to the club together, and that Beckett may have also had his friends with him, but we know that Charlie doesn’t really interact with Beckett’s friends. So other than hang out with Oscar who is obligated to be there, what does charlie actually do on these types of nights at the club?

Marisa

This is such a good question

Haylee

silly string bonus questions Beckett seemed really pissed when he found out they had been in his room did charlie and Beckett hold a grudge or have a convo after the fact with phoenix or harriet? When Charlie gives the cleaning services numbers to ben allowing him to help Beckett this seems like a first for them. Would you say their relationship has improved more in the SS timeline? more little things that weren’t mentioned by tom like this Is Charlie aware of everything going on between Jo & Beckett? Curious if there’s a reason why Charlie didn’t really say anything towards harriet but more toward phoenix? i’m very glad my poor girl couldn’t handle it rn — Charlie cuts a sharp glare to Phoenix. “Stay out of his fucking bedroom. If you or anyone else tries again Any small thoughts of his you can give throughout the whole situation, dinner or at home post silly stringing

Haylee

Yesss more silly string bonus questions! loving it sm

Haylee

Did Tom tell Charlie that he was proven wrong with what he told Phoenix about his sex life and him being too prideful to tell phoenix himself?

Gloria

Can you tell us more about Charlie's and Beckett's relationship? What does Charlie value most about Beckett?

Haylee

Does Charlie have a favourite ballet to watch Beckett perform? In SS did he go to see him perform?

Marisa

We know that Charlie and Beckett both like Phoenix by the end of SS. That being said, is there anything Charlie doesn’t like about him? What is his biggest concern involving Phoenix moving forward?

Marisa

In most of SS Charlie seemed less bitchy than in BB. Tom enjoys bantering with him and Phoenix empathizes saying he too can come off as bitchy to people. So when we got to the part where everyone is on the lawn of the Honor’s House at the end of SS this part really stood out to me: “Forgot your shoes and your brain?” Charlie quips. Ben glares. “Fuck you, Charlie.” It immediately reminded me that Ben reacts very differently to Charlie than Tom does. I now realize that this isn’t a question 😂…but I just wanted to point out that I love how the POV you’re in really matters for things like this.

I had a question about chapter 41 to be specific about Charlie. Before the release there were a lot of questions about what type of girls Charlie hooks up with and you guys said that we see that in SS. There were two scenes that highlighted this, two scenes that were very heavy. The first one is on chapter 9 where Charlie tells tom that the reason the girl he brought over leaved so fast was be she tried to push his cum inside of her, which is NOT OKAY AT ALL. Then in chapter 41 we see a random girl hug him from behind and then when he ignored her she hugged him tighter and touched him inappropriately (hands below the waistband). Where these the girls that you guys were referring to? We obviously haven't seen how the hook up with the first girl started but I truly believe that Charlie, as he has gotten older, has experienced less people respecting boundaries. I would be happy to hear your guyses thought process

N

Also I wanted to ask if the reason Charlie gave Eliot a curfew is so that he couldn't bring dates home. Is this an indication that the event with the girl in BB affected him more than he let on bc also in chapter 8 when Tom brings up Eliot's date Charlie looks like he wants to change the topic

N

What did Charlie say to Phoenix in another language in Ch 41 when he asked if Charlie was okay? Or at least in which language did he answer?

Marisa

Now that Maeve is two, what would she say is her favorite thing to do with her Uncle Charlie?

Marisa

What is Charlie’s favorite children’s book to read with Maeve?

Krista & Becca Ritchie
