"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

I just learned the news about your departure to another -I hope much better- place.

I’m writing because I feel you should know that even though I wasn’t really aware of your greatness when I was younger, when I watched The perks of being a wallflower for the first time -and fell in love with the story right away- , the scene in the pickup where Charlie is taking a ride with his friends, the friends he loves more than anything, the ones who make him happier than anyone in the world, when your song “Heroes” starts playing on the radio, well, when I watched that I simply felt infinite. That’s when I decided to read the book and right after that I went to the bookstore to find another good piece of writing, another story that would make me feel sad, and happy, and melancholic, I found Love Letters to the Dead.

See, for me everything fits in a perfectly designed place, I don’t necessarily believe in a particular God -even though I was raised a catholic-, but I believe all things hapen for a reason, even terrible things. I don´t know, this may sound a little corny but the fact that I read those books hapened for a reason, and I identified myself with the main characters of both stories to the point that I felt like I was writing.

I just felt like I should tell someone about it and what better person to tell than you?
