“The Perks of Being a Wallflower” is by no means a typical narrative. What do I mean by “not a typical narrative”? I mean that this book is full of crazy surprises that life will throw at you! I have learned quite a few life lessons throughout my time reading this novel. This novel is the best book out there to read, some might say they do not like it, only because they can relate little to much of what happens and it hits hard if it hits home. My life changed by reading “ The Perks of Being a Wallflower” because it taught me a lesson on life, the best and worst way to deal with a situation, and how to cope with anger built up inside.

"Even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there"(Stephen Chbosky, Pg.211). This quote stood out to me by telling me even though I came from a not well-to-do family, I can change that around for my own life and become the woman I was made to be. The lesson here is you can control your own
