The Perks of Being a Wallflower
By Stephen Chbosky
Charlie Kelmeckis is not your average teenager; while telling his story, Chbosky's novel was actually challenged and banned in some high schools. The novel begins with the shy and overly thoughtful Charlie entering high school for the first time. Constantly referred to as wise beyond his years, Charlie makes friends with seniors named Sam and Patrick who give him his first taste of being social in a high school setting. The novel is written through Charlie's letters to an anonymous "friend."
The story follows Charlie through a lot of serious experiences which is why the book has been challenged in many schools. Charlie has his first encounters with witnessing relationship abuse, taking drugs, sexual assault and many other real world issues.
If someone were to ask me for a book recommendation, I would no doubt recommend The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The book is extremely well written, and I can guarantee you will fall in love with Charlie's emotional character within the first few pages.
I would recommend this book to the thinkers, to the emotional and to people who think unconventionally.
