I just finished reading The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It is about a young boy, Charlie, who is just about to enter high school. Charlie had a tough time last year because his best friend, Michael shot himself. Charlie is entering the year by writing to this "friend". I don't really know who the "friend" is but the reason Charlie is writing to the friend is because, "...she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have..."
Throughout the book Charlie makes friends with two seniors, Sam and Patrick (sister and brother). They take Charlie under their wing and teach him "the ways of life and good music". They introduce Charlie to all their cool senior friends, Mary Elizabeth who is quite a pill, if you ask us. With a tattoo and belly button ring, she's a teenage American Buddhist, and she has a lot to say about the matter; Alice who likes vampires and stealing jeans at the mall even though her family is rich, and then theirs Bob, he throws a lot of parties and smokes a lot of marijuana. They all have a lot of fun and they party and do drugs and other crazy things.
In the end, Charlie gets the girl (Sam) and they all go off to college.
