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.

I liked the movie infinitely better. I had trouble getting used to Charlie's narrative voice as he sounded like a nine-year-old at best.
