The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Stephen Chbosky

Publisher: Barnes & Noble (1999)

Structured in the form of letters addressed to an anonymous friend, Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower explores the awkward age of adolescence.

This is the story of what it’s like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie’s letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory.

The novel will spirit you back to those wild and agonising roller coaster days known as growing up.
