The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is about growing up in high school, with a family that nurtures secrets, and lies, and amongst friends who are confusing personalities more than anything else- all from the point of view of Charlie, a 15-year-old Wallflower stuck in the midst.

I like this book because of the style of writing. Instead of being narrated from a third-person's perspective, the story reveals itself slowly, from letter to letter. It's almost like you're putting together a puzzle, or finding the plot, as you read, picking up clues from each one of Charlie's letters.

In all, I give this book a 3/5 rating.
