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.

holy shit!!! i cried probably every 20 pages. i’ve seen the movie and finally decided to read- boy, was that a great decision. it was inspiring in a not-corny way, and even at times when it was corny, i didn’t mind it. this book was so difficult to put down. it’s definitely in my top three now.

Just absolutely beautiful. Probably my favourite book I have ever read, although I say that about most the books I read, but I really do think this will be a book I will re-read many times and will continue to love because of how much depth the author is able to give the characters in so few words. 

I finished it in less than two days, would have happily done it in one, but was doing school work. 

I see myself in Charlie so much it’s a little scary if I’m completely honest. The book describes near perfectly the experiences of a person who observes rather than interacts; Charlie is a great character who is representation for all of us who never quite understood who we are or what we are meant to do.
