The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Stephen Chbosky, 1999
A high-school freshman writes letters about first friends, first love and the things adults won't explain, in a voice that makes adolescence feel less lonely.
Stephen Chbosky
Chbosky wrote the screenplay for Rent and later directed the 2012 film adaptation of his own novel.
Feels like longing, adventure and love.
The difference between being someone's crush and being seen.
It’s just that I don’t want to be somebody’s crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don’t like, I’ll tell them. Books by Stephen Chbosky
