The perks of being a wallflower


The book that we would we reviewing today is, 'The perks of being a wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky.  It is a YA novel dealing with friendship, love, adolescence and high school.

Stephen Chbosky is an American author, screenwriter and film director well known for this very book. 


The story is narrated in a unique letter structure by a fifteen-year-old boy Charlie. He writes letters to an unknown person, addressing him only as "dear friend" throughout the book.

"Things change, friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody" is a quote from the book which reveals the simple reality of life that it never stays the same and we need to accept the changes. 

"It's nice to have things to look forward to" is an extract from the book which gives us the hope that there is always something that we could look forward to and how good it feels to do so.

“So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them.” is a quote from the book that says that everybody is special in their very own way and that we do not need to try to fit in where you do not belong.

I would recommend this book to you if you like to read of coming of age tales or friendship or love or family.
