Perks of Being a Wallflower is a story told through letters. It follows the tale of a young boy named Charlie. Espresso Patronum explained very well on her Monday post what was happening this week, so if you haven't read her post yet, go check it out! In short, Espresso Patronum and I gave each other books to read and review. She gave me Perks of Being a Wallflower.
There are so many aspects of this book, that it would make it very hard to describe. Instead of writing a review, I will answer some questions on it but beware because their will be spoilers.
Now, if you haven't read this book yet, I definitely suggest reading it. It is a quick read and an incredible story. I found that it was full of rollercoasters for your emotions.
* SPOILERS AHEAD; READ WITH CAUTION!*
Question 1: On a scale from one to ten, how would you rate this book?
Answer: 7
Question 2: Did you enjoy this book? Why or why not?
Answer: I enjoyed this book, for sure. It was complex and dealt with some real issues such as rape. Following Charlie through letters he wrote made it different than things I've read before but it was still good.
Question 3: Who was your favourite character?
Mary Elizabeth. Charlie broke her heart but she was still a sweetie. I adored her character and how she was portrayed.
Question 4: Who was your least favourite character?
Am I allowed to say Charlie? I'm just kidding. My least favourite character is Brad. He acted all lovey dovey when he and Patrick were alone but in public he shamed Patrick. I don't think it's ok to be two different people when your with different people. I was actually really happy when they broke.
Question 5: What was your favourite scene?
Oh my favourite scene was most definitely when Charlie takes over the spot in the Rocky Horror show. It made me laugh.
Question 6: What was your least favourite scene?
When Charlie realized that his Aunt Helen raped him.
Question 7: Did you like the way the book ended?
Not particularly, I wish there was more. But, this leaves it up to our imagination so it's good in that way.
I'm going to end it on that note but thank you, Espresso Patronum, for giving me this book to read and thank you readers for reading my answers to these questions!

Until next week!
