The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Started out not really sure about this one, and felt out of the intended age range. But by the halfway point I had to stop myself from crying on the subway.

Good shit.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower[PERKS OF BEING A… by StephenChbosky

I think this book should be read by those entering or finishing highschool, it teaches a lot about trauma and why people do things, there is plenty of lessons to be learned that can effect you long term. The writing style is interesting and something new to me, I loved it and was able to finish the book in 3 days, on and off reading. One of the best books I have read, it captures what being a quiet kid is like.
