BEST. BOOK. EVER.

I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and it was the BEST BOOK EVER. The book is about Charlie in high school and his life with his new friends that he makes, Sam and Patrick along with others. The whole book is written through letters to an anonymous "friend" from Charlie as he observes the world he lives in. The book is very hard to explain because it is so good and reading it is an experience and I think it is probably a different experience for every person. I could not put this book down and read it in 3 days. Throughout the book you become very attached to Charlie and hurt when he hurts, feels infinite when he does, and wants to hug him when he cries. Charlie is such an emotional person so I could really connect to his innocence and thought that the writing overall was amazing. Charlies letters are so intimate and don't leave things out like some books  written in letter form. Totally, I love love love this book and highly recommend it to kids in our grade.
