I wanted to like this book. I've never read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, so I didn't have any expectations for Chbosky. It had a strong start and a fascinating premise, but it wore on and on until I felt like I was finishing the book out of spite.

By a little past halfway, the “twist” felt obvious and I was tired of being browbeaten withe repetition that began to read like “WOW THIS IS A METAPHOR!” and “SYMBOLS!”

Again, I really had high hopes, but this book could have been half the length and just as pointless.
