The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

So I just started this book and I am quite happy. The story is in the point of a boy who writes in a journal. Its not like the typical journal book where the writer says what the date is and talks about pointless things. The main characters name is Charlie and he starts off each letter by saying "Dear Friend". The story is all about his life, his crushes, his sister and his awkward self. Charlie is such an interesting boy, for example he talks about his favorite books, yet he says every new book he reads is his new favorite. Charlie also tells us about his first party, and this new girl he likes. Her name is Sam and sadly Charlie has no chance with her. The story goes from one thing to another, so it is kind of hard to follow and remember certain details from the beginning. One thing I really like about this story is how insanely unique Charlie is. He is so interesting to read about-even though its a fictional character. I feel like I know him and that he is real. The things that happen to Charlie are so relatable and fascinating. It is a really short book so I'm almost done, thats all for now ttfn:)
