The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
'I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.'
'We accept the love we think we deserve.'
'I hate you.' ...'I love you.'
'Not everybody has a sob story... and even if they do, it's no excuse.'
'He's a wallflower.'
'And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.'
'They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.'
'It was the kind of book you made your own.'
'I wished I could have made her feel better, but sometimes, I guess you just can't.'
'I would die for you. But I won't live for you.'
'The only perspective, is to really be there.' ... 'I was really there.'
These are some of the quotes I highlighted in this book. And I never mark my books in any way, so that has something to say for the book.
There was only one opinion Charlie had that I really disagreed with. The others show he's a true, imperfect character but he is trying.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of my favourite movies and reading the book was both similar and different. Normally I find reading books of movies I've seen boring as I know where the plots going but luckily the movie added and deleted parts of the story and I didn't mind that either when it came to reading the book. As this is a deep story, following even more of peoples difficult and joyous lives than I'd seen from just watching the film. It was heartwarming to read. And a quick read as even Charlie admits, he writes as he thinks, and it gives the book a great unbroken, soul-captivating pace.
