the perks of being a wallflower week 8
The perks of being a wallflower is one of the best books I've ever read. It's so real and I like how can relate to it in some ways. Charlie has a very wise mind for being so young. In almost a year, the novel takes you through letters that he writes to an anonymous person. Charlie is a "wallflower" he's more of a people watcher than interacting with them. He will go to parties and just kind of watch people to see what they do. He goes through a lot in a year though. He trips on LSD, and eats a weed brownie without even knowing it. He deals with his sister getting beat by her boyfriend, then having to get an abortion. His brother is a hot shot college football player at Penn State. His aunt died one night because she went to go buy his birthday present and got in a car accident and died. Ever since he can't help but thinking it's his fault and becomes depressed around the time of his birthday. Charlie discovers drinking and cigarettes. He has two best friends, Patrick and Sam. He falls in love with Sam and finds out Patrick is gay. He has his first girlfriend but realizes he doesn't really like her because of how conceited she is. All around this book is just great, I would recommend it to anyone! But if your reading this, you just found out half the book...oops! There is a lot more to it and it obviously goes more in depth, so you should read this book! And if you do, i hope you really enjoy it[:
