wallflower

The year I reached 8th grade my friend had brought to my attention the perks of being a wallflower, the story I know, and love to this day. The story begins when a boys friend commits suicide, a choice he doesn’t quite understand. He is in the midst of welcoming his presence, to the new and exciting people of high school. When he meets the likable Sam, and Patrick with the unforgettable nickname “nothing”. What I like about this story is that it is written in his perspective as though it’s his journal. He leaves out all real names and fills them in with names that aren’t real to him, he doesn’t want anyone to know who he, or any of his friends truly are. This book has given me a new perspective on things, it’s kind of a coming of age story that really grows on you. ” And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”
