The Perks of Being a Wallflower


Perks Of Being A Wallflower is written by Stephen Chbosky. Stephen Chbosky has written many novels but the the perks of being a wallflower was the book that peaked his success of being a writer. The perks of being a wallflower is about a fifteen year old boy name Charlie who is coping with the lost of his best friend who commited suicide over the summer, so charlie starts feeling anxiety about starting high school with no friends so he starts writing letters to a stranger about his life.

Later in the book charlie gets really close to his english teacher and he helps charlie with shyness eventually charlie meets a guy name patrick and have a really nice friendship from there first encounter with each other during class and after there little conversation patrick takes charlie to meet his step sister sam who charlie develops a crush on throughout the story. At the end of story a big secret charlie has been keeping from his parents is unrevealed to them which makes do some harsh things that lead him to go to the hospital and receive treatment and there in that hospital is where charlie sends off his last letter to the stranger which makes chairle notice that  he wants to get out of his head and into the real world, participating in life instead of just watching it fly by

I enjoyed reading this book I would recommend this book to any teen and up, because the book goes through a lot of rough moments that people in our generation would go through in their everyday life. This book shows that even if you are a shy wallflower you can always find the right people or person to help comfort you with their presence. These people could bring you out your shell and show you that you a bright star hiding behind your scars and flaws In life.
