"The Perks of Being A Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky.
I read this book a while back before the movie came out. I fell in love with the idea of "the wallflower".
The narrator of the book was Charlie, a kid that had just started high school and had zero friends, some of his friends just didn't speak to him anymore, and some, like Michael, shot themselves.
The book revolved around Charlie's life and the new experiences he went through with new friends.
Also, the book showed how a lot of people feel just like Charlie, people feel like they're invisible and that nobody ever notices.
Charlie noticed, Charlie saw but Charlie didn't speak. He merely observed, hence: "the wallflower"
On a side-note: I LOVED the movie! It seems like the whole hating a movie 'cause it's from a book is now a trend. There are bad movies, and there are really good ones! I loved this movie, it didn't accede my expectations but it didn't disappoint me either.
All and all, great book and I highly recommend it! x
