The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Banned in Utah's public school libraries earlier this year. A novel that generations of teenagers have held like a lifeline. Still just as good. Still very much available here.  

Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie is navigating through the strange worlds of love, drugs, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", and dealing with the loss of a good friend and his favorite aunt.
