An amazing book about a boy who is a wallflower in high school. It is written in letters when he befriends a gay guy and his sister, who he falls in love with, and all of "Charlies" problems. including drugs, sex, good music and Rocky Horror Picture Show
"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

a book for anyone who feels disconnected, unable to connect, alone/ lonely, unapreciated and sad.
the story of a boy named charlie and his most intamite thoughts shared with an anonymous friend by letters. the right connection for an introvert.
the perks of being a wallflower is a must read for anyone sensitive.

"I feel infinite."
"I don't want to start thinking again. Not like I have this last week. I can't think again. Not ever again.
I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."

An amazing book that is especially beloved by angsty teenagers. Because of its following, people who are trying to be individuals will say that it's not actually good.
Angsty teenager: The Perks of Being a Wallflower is so great!
"Individual": No, it's not.
Angsty teenager: What's wrong with it?
"Individual": Um... a lot of people like it, so it can't be good.
