The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Stephen Chbosky
pg. 171- 213

This is the last part of the book. It starts off with Charlie not doing much, just talking about all his friends going to prom and then graduating. At graduation, Charlie's mom cries when his sister gives her speech, and walks across the stage. Very sentimental. Afterwords, Charlie and his whole entire family go back to his house for their party. Sam calls Charlie to come over, but he can't until his relatives leave. After they do, he goes to party with his friends until he realizes he still has school. He spends the next week trying to hang with Sam as much as possible before she leaves for her summer school program. Finally, the night before she leaves, the whole group is hanging out at Sam and Patrick's house. Everyone leaves except for Charlie, who goes to Sam's room to help her pack. She talks to Charlie about how he has to go for what he wants. He can't just sit around and try to make everyone else happy. They end up kissing and all of that, until Charlie freaks out. He sleeps over at their house on the couch and sees Sam away in the morning. He goes home where his parents find him sitting on the couch naked watching tv, but the tv isn't even on. Later we find out what really happened between him and his aunt Helen, but I don't want to ruin anymore than I already have.

In the epilogue, Charlie says some really deep things. It's inspirational. He's riding in the back of Sam's truck and he feels infinite. He feels awesome about his life. He is actually happy with everything going on. He feels good for the first time in his life. I really like that. He says that we must believe him that everything is now good and his life and if it's not, it will be soon enough. I think everyone should think like he does. If our lives are looking gloomy right now, they will turn around eventually. We just have to keep our heads up like Charlie. Overall, I really liked this book. I would recommend it to anyone. It really gives you a unique insight to the life of a teenager.
