Told through the intimate letters of introverted teen Charlie, this beloved coming-of-age story explores the beauty and heartbreak of adolescence, friendship, trauma, and mental health.

Navigating the hallways of high school in the early 1990s, Charlie is more observer than participant—until he’s drawn into a vibrant group of misfits who introduce him to first love, family drama, underground music, and midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But as Charlie begins to open up to the world, long-buried truths and painful memories surface, forcing him to confront the past and choose how he wants to move forward.

Honest, emotional, and deeply relatable, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a timeless teen novel that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit in—but still longed to belong.
