The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

5.0

I finally read this young adult classic and it was amazing. There was a great discussion of mental health and trauma and it was so interesting so see inside Charlies head, he is such an interesting and complex character.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Wow. I really need to listen to peoples recommendations and stop putting them off for months. This was absolutely brilliant, the reason I was so intimidated by this book was the length but I devoured this book in three days it was so addicting.

I read this in a day I was so invested in this story. I loved the characters and how all the clues came together in the end. I have never had a book I couldn’t put down quite as much as this.
