Hello my lovely readers I hope you’re all well and happy!
I’m sorry I haven’t posted for a couple of weeks but I’ve been to engrossed in reading the ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ which has taken up my free time (aka bus journeys). However I finished that this morning so I can post a lunch time blog!
That being said I’m not done being obsessed with this novel yet! I love finding books that do that for me, books that I hate having to put down (which I have to do otherwise I can hardly tell the boy I look after to get his nose out of a book and eat his supper).
I would thoroughly recommend reading The perks of being a wallflower (I should really choose books with shorter titles to do a blog post on) to any of you who haven’t already read it and thank you to Alicia Keenan for recommending and giving me the book!
I love the way it’s written in a series of letters making it all 1st person past tense narrative, which is a perfect perspective for the message of the story!
It took me back to my time at high school; time, place or even fiction doesn’t change teenagers. It reminded me of all those uncomfortable feelings over the years and the importance of always being your true self and not changing for anyone.
An absolutely amazing read for anyone who’s ever felt a bit out of place, like they’re a bit different, observing the rest of the world wondering how they fit into it, or anyone who has ever kept he fullness of who they truly are hidden.
I wish I could quote the entire book but I’ll jut choose one to end with as it’s the part I’ve most focused on:
“I’m going to be who I really am. And I’m going to figure out what that is.”
