One Sentence Summary:
Charlie is a freshman with no friends, this is about his attempts to fit in and make friends.
Review:
I loved the writing style of Chbosky, the novel is written in the form of letters which follow language very typical of the way high-schoolers think, a bit disjointed with just the right amount of self-loathing and confusion. The story was great and I related well as a bit of a social outcast myself. There were time I wanted to slap Charlie and times I felt so bad for him I wanted to get him a bus ticket to run away. A well thought out character, I would find it difficult to believe Chbosky himself wasn't a bit of a wallflower.
9/10
