"The Perks Of Being a Wallflower" by Stephan Chbosky. This is the book I am currently reading. I am very close to the end, but I really don't want it to end! It is one of the best books I have ever read before. It is about a high school boy named Charlie. The book starts out with him in 8th grade. One of friends has recently committed suicide. He gets very angry because he knows if the school counselors had let him talk to his friend, he could have prevented this from happening. But there are somethings in life he just cannot control. He starts high school and he doesn't have any friends. He goes to one of the school football games, sees two people he doesn't know, and sits with them. Their names are Sam and Patrick, and they are both seniors. They are very friendly to him and after the game they go out to eat. Charlie asks them how long they have been dating, and they just laugh at him. They are actually brother and sister. Charlie doesn't really have any friends, so he sticks with Sam and Patrick. It isn't long before Charlie realizes he in in love with Sam, but Sam told him not to think of her like that. He has many great adventures with his new friends, and he even becomes friends with the friends of Sam and Patrick. He finds out a very shocking thing. He finds out that Patrick is gay, but Charlie accepts his friends for who he is. Charlie's brother soon goes off to college and now he just has his sister. His best friend used to be his aunt Helen before she died. He has a really hard time dealing with the fact that he can no longer see his aunt. Eventually, he learns to drive and gets his own car. The very first place he drives is to his aunt Helen's grave at the cemetery. He starts to cry and finds his way back home. He promises his aunt that he will only ever cry if something is very important, and at this point he is crying very hard. He goes to bed after that. One thing Charlie loves to do is read. His English teacher, Bill, gives him lots of extra books to read and tells him to write essays for extra credit. He ends up reading a lot of really good books, and he tells his friends about them. He also goes to lots of parties with Sam and Patrick. He and all of his new friends do Secret Santa. He gets Patrick, and he is very excited. He gets him books and makes him mix tapes. Charlie is receiving bits and pieces of a suit. He thinks it's from his friend Mary Elizabeth. Then, when they have a Christmas party, he reveals to Patrick that he was his secret Santa, but Patrick claims he knew all along. It turns out that Patrick also had Charlie, and he got him a suit. Sam gets Charlie a typewriter for his Christmas present, and then Sam kisses him. He is very excited, but he knows he shouldn't like her. Time passes and Sam gets a boyfriend named Craig. Charlie is jealous, but he is happy for her. Charlie ends up dating Mary Elizabeth and she really likes him. Charlie ends up messing things up really badly. Sam finds out Craig is cheating on her. She is very sad, but instead of being happy that Sam and her boyfriend broke up, Charlie is also very sad. He is sad because he hates seeing Sam hurt. I don't want to reveal too much more so you can read this book for yourself. It seems like I already said too much for you to read this book, but there is so much more I didn't say. This book is in the form of Charlie writing letters to "A friend." I believe the moral of this book is no matter how much everything has gone wrong and you feel you've hit rock bottom, everything is only going to get better. I absolutely love this book, and I recommend it to everyone. I hope you like this book as much as I do. Read it before the movie comes out.

I love this book so much. I read it for the first time last year, and it had me smiling and in tears. It was amazing, I'll definitely pick it up again.

I want to read this book so bad, and I want to see the movie too! I hate seeing the movie before reading the book, though
