The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a coming-to-age epistolary novel written by Stephen Chbosky who is American award winning literacy optimism. This is a moving story about a boy named Charlie who is entering his first year of high school as an outcast. Charlie deals with the recent death of his best friend after he committed suicide and his always consuming depression built up from memories in the past he can’t seem to put together.  This story is told through letters Charlie writes to an anonymous character which he tells everything. Charlie’s world is turned upside down when he meets two outgoing outsiders, Sam and Patrick. Patrick is a wild, spontaneous teen who is struggling with being gay and dating someone who isn’t willing to expose their relationship. Sam is the beautiful, compassionate girl who Charlie almost instantly gained feelings for. These two friends introduce Charlie to a whole new world.
