And yes, in 16/17/18 years, nobody's perfect. Some play it as they say, others try to stay true to themselves in a world that tries to make them look like anyone. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is the story of Charlie, what Sophomore apprehending high school, high school life, life with friends ... It passes through intense periods ranging from unhappiness to happiness. Through friends, music, literature, film, Charlie and the reader at the same time are seen looking at life from a different angle: appreciate the moments we have, trying to be positive and LIVE. I recommend it!
