Perks of Being a Wallflower #3

 Perks of Being a wallflower is an amazing book, its structured characters, creative Ideas, relatable reactions, and funny jokes leads me to a conclusion that an author like Stephen Chbosky would never leave a hole in a character by accident. Despite this assumption I notice one part of Charlie that is left out, he never talks about his older dead friend in any sad or detailed way. At first I thought this was a mistake on the authors behave, it was unrealistic of anyone to get over a dead relative or friend so quickly.

Then I thought a bit more and realized this was not a big gap in reality but an extra stretch of character development. I had blanked out on the bit that charlie is in fact the writer of the story and has a complete control over what he mentions. This means that maybe he is in fact still getting over the friend and just chooses to him out.
