Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.

Synopsis from Goodreads: Charlie is a freshman.And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.
Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.Number of pages: 213
My review: Honestly, everyone and their mother has done a review of this book. Just go read it. Please, right now, do it. After I finished reading it (during which I laughed and cried) I wrote down a list of things I was feeling so I could better explain how I felt once I was finished. I knew it would be a week or so before I wrote this review so this is what I felt a week ago:
- Happy
- Sad
- Disbelief
- Humbled
- Content
- Out of body
- Melancholy
- Wise
- Perceptive
But seriously, go read it. I know people who never ever read and they loved this book so please take the time to go read it. Also, if anyone has seen the movie and they enjoyed it, or hated it, or felt it was/was not close to the book please let me know! I still need to see it and would like a few opinions!
See you soon!
P.S. This review is so short that there is literally nothing I can say about this book which has already not been said. And it's one of those things you just have to experience on your own. You'll either love it or hate it so go read it and decide.
