Read the cult-favorite coming of age story that takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. Now a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny, touching, and haunting modern classic.

The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky, Perks follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. First dates, family drama, and new friends. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

A years-long #1 New York Times bestseller, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults and Best Book for Reluctant Readers, and with millions of copies in print, this novel for teen readers (or “wallflowers” of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life.

The perks of being a wallflower

"He made It"
É tão fácil se perder em você mesmo, acreditar que a compreensão é impossível. Mas não é.
Ser jovem é ser imprevisível, é ter vivacidade, vigor, é ser infinito.
É saber que você pode fechar os olhos e sentir aquela música, respirar com o som, degustar a luz, tocar essa felicidade elétrica. É simplesmente ser. Sem fim. Sem começo. Somente ser.

As vezes pode ser difícil entender tudo isso, mas esse livro te faz relembrar, te faz voltar a viver, e é incrível como as cartas de um garoto podem ajudar alguém a se sentir presente mesmo depois de quase 30 anos.
Então obrigada.
Eu prometo que vou tentar participar mais.

Ps: "and in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

Love always,
Charlie
