The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The male protagonist of this delightfully shocking story, Charlie, allows the reader to peak through the blinds of his life with a series of letters addressed to an unidentified subject. Much is discovered about Charlie, yet nothing is known. The entirety of this epistolary tale exists in a year’s time; Charlie’s freshmen year of high school. The book is birthed when Charlie
becomes frightened of the new world that is being thrust upon him. Charlie is the youngest of three; a college football playing brother professes the eldest position, and a beautifully intelligent boy-crazed sister adheres to the middle. Isolated; Charlie feels alone even in the midst of his family. He is heard by no one, except for the person whom resides in the space that Charlie
addresses his letters to.
