The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky

Published in 1999. 213 pages.


A coming-of-age story in epistolary form, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is an important book. But it is not a feel-good book - though it does end on a hopeful note.

At times I was reminded of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and of This Is What I Did.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower made the top ten most frequently challenged books of 2009.

  1. Thanks for the mention, Alison! I got really interested after reading Ana's (Nymeth) review and enjoyed the book. :D
