"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

It’s been over a year when I last saw you. I still remember seeing your face on my birthday, happy as can be. I know when I first met you, I didn’t know what to think. You were this preppy, joyful person that always seemed to have so much energy. I always wondered what you saw in me. I was known to be left out from most things because I never liked to socialize but you helped me make new friends. I still remember the last day you were at school, you guys had to move up north near Duluth. It was sad but we were happy for you and your sister. After hearing the news of your death, it was a mess at school. I basically cut everyone out because I didn’t know what else to do. I used to turn to you for everything because you always seemed to have the answers for everything when I didn’t. Now that you weren’t there anymore, I didn’t know who to turn to. I felt alone in the world. You were too young to be taken from this world. You had big dreams I knew you could achieve. Every day it hurts to think about you, but it gets easier as each day passes. I know you would be proud of me. I moved since you left so that happened. I hope you’re dancing your heart out up in heaven. I love you, Heather, I miss you, and I’ll you on the other side.
