The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky

Charlie, a boy from a regular home, seems like he should be happy all the time. However, he isn't. Charlie is just starting his Freshman year of high school and has absolutely no friends. Along with that, he has to deal with the recent loss of his aunt and best friend. Through this book, Charlie finds two people who pull him out of his funk into a world of "wallflowers" where he finally finds a place to fit in.

I liked this book a lot. It shows how the current teens struggle in a world depression and pain. Charlie shows that people can find a place to fit in in this broken world. Along with this, Charlie shows people who come from broken homes that the past doesn't define you. It is what you deal with the past that does.

This book is simply written so I think really anyone could read it. However, there is a bit of explicit content concerning drugs, and it talks about sex a little bit. I wouldn't recommend this book for young kids, however, I feel that it is an amazing book for teens and young adults.

This book's rating - 9/10
