Written in the form of letters to a person whose identity is never revealed, Wallflower is a fun, engaging and poignant read detailing Charlie’s freshman year of high school. As Charlie shares his new social experiences with the reader there are many moments that resonate, and probably any reader, regardless of what one’s social status is or may have been in high school can identify with Charlie on some level. One of his more endearing characteristics is his introspectiveness, and this work reminded me of both The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and The Catcher in the Rye.
