The Perks of being a Wallflower.

  The definition of a wallflower is someone who see's things, keeps quiet about them, and understands them. And that is exactly how Charlie is. Charlie is just starting out his freshman year of high school. Charlie isn't like all of the other kids at school, he's never been one to socialize ever since his best friend killed himself. High-school is very big to Charlie and he feels as if he was not accepted by anyone. Then comes along seniors Sam and Patrick. They accept Charlie for being a wallflower, and let him in. Charlie faces many obstacles after he meets Sam and Patrick. This book speaks on how Charlie comes to deal with his mental problems with the help of his friends. Charlie cares about everyone. He just doesn't know how to show it. By the end of the book he faces his past, and becomes one with himself. 

I have read this book over five times, and it gets better every time. I feel as if I can relate to Charlie's fear of not being accepted. But I have accepted my self and so did Charlie. This book can be upsetting, but you have to read it with an open mind. Being a wallflower is special. And this book is very special. So its cool and you should all read it.
