(type your foreword here) Foreward The first words that come to mind when I think of The Perks of Being a Wallflower are touching, incredible and sincere. Charlie, the main character is an awkward, perceptive teen, always watching life from the sidelines. Of course, not everybody is born a confident, outgoing extrovert.
