The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
4.0
It was weird going from reading [b:The Catcher in the Rye|5107|The Catcher in the Rye|J.D. Salinger|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1398034300s/5107.jpg|3036731] to this, and even more so because they mention that book in this book. The format of this book was of the boy writing letters to a unknown person that never responded. It was an interesting way to lay out a novel but I think it helped add the personality of the letter writer. This book had a whirlwind of emotions tied to it, so I felt on the roller coaster with him as he went through his freshman year of high school, the ending was fitting for the novel but not as climactic as I would have hoped.

Rather sad read, but it also made me giggle at points. I enjoyed the format it was written in, jumping around to people.
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
4.0
Read this for a book club, so it was defiantly outside of something I would have picked for myself. I loved at the end the author gave us insight into all the research and time she put into make the book historically accurate. It gave the story more meaning to me. There was great detail into the emotions of Vivian and Molly and the decisions they had to make, it was predictable but I don't think it was supposed to be written as a suspense.

I went into this book without reading any synopsis or reviews on it, and i'm so glad i did. I love love love this style of writing. Laughed many times throughout this book, great trip through a day in the life of. Typical person that calls themselves a writer but hasn't actually written anything. :p
Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin
5.0
Awesome read! The word choices date the book, and take a few pages to get used to but it's well worth the read.
If you are easily offended don't bother reading this book. We don't need to mud the review section with "this book needs to be taken off the shelf!" :p

So far this is the 3rd John Green book I've read this month. I've discovered a pattern, strong willed girl, not so sure of himself boy. boy spends too much time analyzing girl. profound life lesson. The end. Cute storyline just not to read back to back. They definantly young adult.
