The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

  The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is a coming-of-age novel that explores the complexities of adolescence through the eyes of a socially awkward high school freshman named Charlie. The book is written in the form of letters that Charlie writes to an anonymous person, which makes the reader feel like they are reading Charlie's diary. I was captivated by Charlie's world from the first page. He is a shy youngster who finds it difficult to make friends and feels alienated from his own life.
