The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Stephen Chbosky · 2012

Un giorno due carismatici ragazzi dell'ultimo anno, la bella Sam e il suo fratellastro Patrick, lo prendono sotto la loro ala protettrice accompagnandolo verso nuove amicizie, il primo amore, il primo bacio, le prime feste, e la ricerca della colonna sonora perfetta della loro vita. Allo stesso tempo, il suo professore di inglese, il sig. Anderson lo introduce al mondo della letteratura, facendo nascere in lui il sogno di diventare scrittore. Tuttavia, nonostante la felicità raggiunta, il dolore del suo passato, segnato dal recente suicidio del migliore amico Michael e dall'accidentale morte di una sua cara zia, tormenta ancora Charlie. Quando i suoi amici più grandi si preparano a lasciare il liceo per il college, l'equilibrio precario del ragazzo inizia a sgretolarsi, fino a palesare una dolorosa verità.
