my friend andrew (8 years older, closest thing to an older brother i had as a kid) gave me "the perks of being a wallflower" along with a mixtape for x-mas my freshman year of high school. that book was published by MTV Books, so i sought out other things they published. i absolutely loved several of them, particularly "brave new girl" by louisa luna, so i just sought them all out. i also loved the look of them.
