I’m not a fan of coming to age stories but man the perks of being a wallflower was such a good book..... I used to carry that little paperback around with me everywhere
#I’ve never seen the movie n I don’t plan to tho I do like Ezra Miller n I think he’s in if#it’s just that Charlie is so insular in the books like I don’t think his internal monologue can be captured in a visual format right#n then I don’t like Emma Watson as Charlie’s crush she just isn’t what I had pictured in my head so No I will not watch the movie unless#somebody watches it with me n doesn’t mind me complaining so much. tho... the song Shard on the like movie music score is bangin I love#listening to that as I’m falling asleep it’s pretty n introspective n hopefully#I saw myself in Charlie n I still do. take that with what u will no I will not elaborate#except to say I didn’t have exactly the same dissociative responses as Charlie like some of the same responses but I could never lose#control like him probs cause girls r taught to shoulder everything even if it’s too much n just pretend the world isn’t on ur back#any who pls read the perks of being a wallflower if u haven’t I promise it’s better than many coming of age stories n it’s a quick read#n u got everything in there gay. neurodivergence. responsible male teacher who actually helps. fairly realistic sibling dynamic. love sorta#what else does it have.... the line “went accept the love we think we deserve’ that always slaps my ass in two when I read it. 90s vibes.#cassette tapes. catharsis? I think? I don’t remember the end super well cause the last time I reread it I got halfway then school started#tapes & coffee talk
