This book was almost 5 stars for me, but not quite because it was pretty triggering sometimes. I would definitely recommend it, but would also recommend to definitely look through the tws. I think this book is really special in a way, that probably everyone will see themselves in the book somehow. It articulates thoughts and feelings very well and gives you stuff to think about. This book dives into so many heavy topics, it’s a really good but also difficult read! 
I think the book really showcases how messy, beautiful, confusing and hard it is to be a teenager.

The perks of being a wallflower is one of those books that's stayed with me since the first time I read it. Having re-read countless times in my teens, I can see now, as a mid-to-late-twenties person, why it resonated with me so much (and still does). Charlie is someone who I connect with on a very emotional level, both with how he looks at like and his mental health issues, Sam with her emotional baggage but wisdom beyond her years, and Patrick, who's lightheartedness and love of humour fills the pages with much needed lightness. As the years roll on and I get older, I will keep coming back to this story. And I will continue to recommend it to my students, my family and my friends throughout my life.

The perks of being a wallflower is my favourite book in the world; it’s emotional, reflective and takes you back to being 15 in a strange world with even stranger emotions. When I was younger I loved the characters and experiences more, and now in my 20s I appreciate the character development, intensity and genuine horror in the plot which resonates with me personally. The perks of being a wallflower makes you love your friends harder, understand yourself better, and sob at the last page every time. Honestly, no words could describe the impact this book has had on my life. A true classic and loveable book forever

This book made me cry, this is one of the first books I finished and at the moment I was struggling with depression, the end page helped me so much, it made me feel not alone and whole.
