The difference between If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower is:
Charlie's mother, who is the mother of the main character in The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a quiet and calm person. Besides, when she says something, she knows what she says and when she should say something. ''My mom chooses her battles carefully, and I can tell you one thing about my family. When my mom does say something, she always gets her way. And this time was no exception. My sister stopped crying immediately." (p25) But in If I Stay the main character's (Mia's) best friend's (Kim's) mother is a very emotional person and in a dramatic situation, immediately she starts to cry. She can't handle with this. (Senna Super Summarizer)

The similarity between If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower is:
The main characters of If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower are both deep thinkers, who are Mia and Charlie. They both are thinking and analyzing about the problems they have in their mind. Mia's problem is staying alive and getting rid of the serious sick position in the hospital. "What would it be like if I stay? What would it feel like to wake up an orphan?... to stay without them? I am not sure this is a world I belong in anymore. I am not sure that I want to wake up." (p164) Charlie's problem is being in love with a person, who is older than him and also who is going out with another guy. "To tell you the truth, I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes, and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world. She is also very smart and fun. I wrote her a poem after I saw her in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I didn't show it to her because I was embrassed." (p47-48)
