"I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them." 
 The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is one those books that just stays in your heart no matter what. The type of book that will open up your mind to social issues that everyone has been going through. The thing about this novel is that it tackled everything starting from drugs, premarital sex, rape, child abuse, HIV awareness and same sex relationships. If that's not enough reason for you to read it, then I don't know what is. 
 Charlie's character is so relatable. He may be stupid and insensitive at times but I like the fact that he was always there to listen to his friends whenever they needed someone to talk to. He was too innocent for his own good to the point of hilariousness. 
 It's my first time reading an epistolary fiction and it was great! The MC decided to write down his thoughts in order to sort out the chaos going on inside his head. As the story goes on you could easily see that Charlie is suffering from PTSD, anxiety and depression. You would see how his friends and family played a huge role when it comes to his ordeal. I love everything about this book and I'm too sleepy to write anything more. Lol
