The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
It has a bit of a slow start but once it picks up, it is splendid. Yes, this is a story about growing up as a teenager and navigating the ins and out of what that means. The plot itself is not the most original and honestly, the writing is not my favorite. However, the characters are wonderful. Charlie, the quirky and introverted protagonist, is absolutely endearing. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a quick read and worthy of the effort. It definitely tugged at my teenage self. I feel like there are some books that are best read at a certain stage in life. Similar to The Catcher in the Rye, I feel like this book is more relevant when read as a teenager. That being said, even though I am not a teenager, I definitely enjoyed this book.
Rating: 3/4
