The Lie, by Chad Kultgen, is a novel about three freshmen in college, Kyle, Heather, and Brett.

Kyle is your typical nice, smart, honest guy, but he is kind of a loser. Heather is the usual slutty, materialistic, sorority bitch who’s main goal is to marry someone rich. Brett is Kyle’s best friend and he is the complete opposite of him. He is hilariously rude, pervertedly disgusting, filthy rich, and thinks that women are the source of all evil.

“You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.”

That is who Charlie is, a wallflower in the world he lives in. Charlie is an observer in the puzzling high school society around him, an atypical freshman surrounded by troubled individuals. Throughout the story he writes anonymous letters to someone he doesn’t know. After reading them you begin to understand how unconventional his character is.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is about that remarkable moment in your life where the wind is in your hair, while you’re on the way to your first party, and the perfect song comes on the radio, and you feel infinite. That point in time that makes you believe everything is how it should be, and for one night you’re not missing out on anything. The novel addresses controversial topics such as homosexuality, teen pregnancy, drug use, and suicide.

From wikipedia:
Georges Auguste Escoffier (28 October 1846 – 12 February 1935) was a French chef, restaurateur and culinary writer who popularized and updated traditional French cooking methods. He is a legendary figure among chefs and gourmets, and was one of the most important leaders in the development of modern French cuisine. Much of Escoffier's technique was based on that of Antoine Carême, one of the codifiers of French Haute cuisine, but Escoffier's achievement was to simplify and modernize Carême's elaborate and ornate style.
