"Perks of Being a Wallflower" Book & Movie (REVIEW)

Artist Personal Journalist

A beautiful coming-of-age story filled with melancholy, sadness, friendship, and love. The movie stays true to the book and both are worth your time. The story centres around a teenager entering high school. If that wasn't messy enough, he deals with past trauma and present mental health issues. The story tackles big topics with grace and authenticity. There is appropriate levity that helps balance out the depth of pain present. This work doesn't handle the topics with Kid Gloves, it's appropriate and legitimate in all its expressions. Akin to the Breakfast Club but much more Real. Most importantly, I found hope here. Things can be horrible but we can continue to live and find the reasons later. *No Spoilers*. (REVIEW - WEEK 17 YEAR 4)
