You’ll be pulled in to Irene’s world by all the intense, relatable emotions she experiences during her fight for survival.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

This round-up would not be complete without The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Before our babe Emma Watson and super cutie Logan Lerman starred in the Perks movie, it was a hugely popular book. Through its pages, we follow Charlie’s family drama, his first dates and many high school stepping-stones on a serious rollercoaster of emotions. You’ll love this book so much, you’ll wanna read it twice (that is, if you haven’t already!).
