無須完美，譜出你的青春微憂鬱藍調！高一新生的查理因天性內向害羞，加上過去曾經發生的悲慘事件讓他總是有點悶悶不樂，但他的校園生活在遇見大他兩個年級的學姐珊和學長派屈克後，他的慘淡人生開始有了變化，雖然他也因此被捲進許多麻煩事裡，但在和性格迥異的兩個朋友相處下，他終於慢慢找到內心的平衡點，也接受了這樣不完美的自己，因為青春本來就不完美，跌跌撞撞又如何？本書為作者史蒂芬‧切波斯基於1999年發表的第一本小說，其中部分反映他過去的真實生活經驗，裡面也談到大量關於青少年時期會遇到的各種問題，其中包括性、毒品吸食和精神疾病等，還曾經遭到美國部分地區學校封殺。
Read the cult-favorite coming of age story that takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. Also a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny, touching, and haunting modern classic.
The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky, Perks follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. First dates, family drama, and new friends. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
A #1 New York Times best seller for more than a year, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults (2000) and Best Book for Reluctant Readers (2000), and with millions of copies in print, this novel for teen readers (or “wallflowers” of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life.
