A review by omnomicons
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

3.0

read this hella wired after having caffeine too late at night and also after having read it for the first time in early middle school I believe. it very much is a book targeted to teens/adolescents and I think I missed the target age range on both reads, but it was a bit disconcerting because I haven’t read anything targeted to YA in a long time. Chbosky does a good job handling topics like drug use, suicide, sexual abuse, etc, to the point where I was surprised because the book is actually much heavier than I remember it being! it’s also VERY 90s and I didn’t remember that aspect either. I guess I honestly wasn’t paying too much attention the first time I read it. overall a solid read when you cannot sleep at night
