The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Real friends can help you through anything, and will love you for who you are. Charlie’s always felt a bit different, and he’s felt more like a spectator than a person who gets stuck in. He’s been going through a lot: panic attacks, family stress, and his best friend recently committed suicide. 

When he makes friends with Sam and Patrick, things improve in lots of ways, but Charlie has a dark past that’s still eating away at him. 

This is, hands down, one of my favourite books. I love Charlie, his kindness, naivety, intelligence and the beautiful way he sees the world from his perspective as a wallflower. 

“We accept the love we think we deserve.” 

This is a book for anyone struggling with #PTSD, #sexual assault, #anxiety, #suicide or feeling like a #misfit.
