At first I wanted to read The Bitch Posse, but I wanted to change it up a bit and read a book from a guy’s perspective. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a great portrayal of a young boy, starting high school, named Charlie that, because of his friends death, is introduced to drugs, alcohol and girls. The story is written in the form of letters to an anonymous person, who he considers a friend and the only one who will listen. The writings show you Charlie’s thoughts and emotions very well.
I think this book is a great read! Guys, along with girls, will be able to relate because in high school, there are the same pressures in this book.
