The Perks of Being a Wallflower

In 2014, I rated this book one star. I truly did not see what everyone liked about this book and I hated it. I was 15 at the time and was the same age as the main character but didn't relate to him at all.

In 2020, I decided to re-read this book because I feel like I could relate to the main character more at age 20 and a half then I did at 15. It made me think back to my school days and my childhood trauma and this book made me so sad. To say I had traumatic teen years would be an understatement and this book just brought everything back to me.

New rating: 2.75 stars
