Perks of Being a Wallflower

Now I know every stereotypical teenager loves this book, but hear me out. Its great, it goes through the life of a boy just entering high school who is just trying to figure everything out. Charlie, the main character, meets many interesting people and encounters difficult situations for the first time in his life. The book is easy to relate to and gives teenagers who are nervous about high school or friends or life something to relate to and to give them hope almost. The book teaches about love, life, friends, family, sex, drugs, everything that you're exposed to as you grow older. It makes you think "If Charlie got through this stuff then I definitely can." 

The book stands as a beacon of hope for wallflowers, people who had a rough childhood, been abused, had to deal with loose, had to go through difficult relationships, etc. This book is the life of a teenager. It is a guide for those who don't know what to do next. It teaches you to read and really read something not just do it because you have to but to understand it and get something out of it. It teaches you to hear things and dissect them and understand. The book is a guide to understanding. Understanding everything.
