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.

Più irrealistico di Cesare che attacca Ariovisto solo per far contenti gli Edui poverini

OMG, the only reason I held back on reading this book was because I thought it would make me hate the movie (which is one of my favorites ever) but this was so damn good. 
The main reason this gets a full 5 star rating is the exchange between Sam and Charlie towards the end of the book and how relevant and impactful it was to me personally. Chbosky’s writing is just excellent, immediately a top 5 book for me 

However, definitely check the trigger warnings
