The Perks of Being a Wallflower is more of a life story. In this book, Charlie writes journals, he talks about his day and tells us how he feels. How this book is written is very similar to what we teenagers would experience in everyday life, it’s very realistic. Charlie experiences drugs, sex, romance, and the typical things you would expect for a 16 year old kid; he was mostly excited to get his license. At points Charlies’ life is tragic; he’s very alone and he overthinks some times. He has two main friends, Patrick and Sam. They are siblings that are in senior year. They take care of Charlie but also get him into drugs and parties, etc. Charlie loves them but he particularly gets feelings for Sam. He loves her very much, but she has a boyfriend which makes Charlie jealous but he cares for her happiness so he decides to ignore it.

There are points in the book that have so much suspense which makes me want to read more. When I feel sad I feel so alive because the book is like something I can relate to which makes me feel not alone. It also makes me feel happy because I feel as if I have a connection with Charlie, as if we’re friends; whenever something good happens to him or whenever he is happy I also feel happy. This book is more of a realistic almost stereotypical teenage life with a lot of cliffhangers and suspense. You feel excited or really happy when there is about to be some action. It isn’t a boring book, I would say it’s great for teens, maybe even young adults since the era was set way back
