"We accept the love we think we deserve."

If you were on Tumblr in 2012, chances are you or someone you know had a huge THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER phase. This week, The Wives Colangelo are talking about the book-turned-movie phenomenon, addressing their personal hang-ups from a decade ago, getting extremely candid about the ways they relate to Charlie, and why this story is far more important than its "hipster" reputation.
