The perks of being a wallflower is one of those books that's stayed with me since the first time I read it. Having re-read countless times in my teens, I can see now, as a mid-to-late-twenties person, why it resonated with me so much (and still does). Charlie is someone who I connect with on a very emotional level, both with how he looks at like and his mental health issues, Sam with her emotional baggage but wisdom beyond her years, and Patrick, who's lightheartedness and love of humour fills the pages with much needed lightness. As the years roll on and I get older, I will keep coming back to this story. And I will continue to recommend it to my students, my family and my friends throughout my life.

holy shit!!! i cried probably every 20 pages. i’ve seen the movie and finally decided to read- boy, was that a great decision. it was inspiring in a not-corny way, and even at times when it was corny, i didn’t mind it. this book was so difficult to put down. it’s definitely in my top three now.
