A review by elleisntabell
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
4.5
I did not expect to like this book, so the fact that I'm here giving it a 4 star that is closer to a 5 than it has any right to be is crazy. But it was good. Seriously.
There are aspects of it that I really don't like, aspects of it that feel outdated, but luckily nothing inherently malicious. Regardless, I think it's really great, and I can't quite express why.
I definitely acknowledge that it's not gonna work for everyone though.
I think the fact that Chbosky is primarily a screenwriter is really obvious. It gives this book a quality that I can't quite explain, but it is something that a really liked.
Anyway, I can clearly not speak of this book in any way that isn't vague, so I'll end it here.
