"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

They say that only the good die young and in your case I could not agree more. It’s been a year and a half since your death and yet I feel your presence in my life more than ever. I see your name written throughout textbooks, I see your face plastered on the school walls, I hear your cheerful voice ringing in my ears. It’s sad, really, that it takes something as significant as death to get someone’s attention. But you have mine, and now I regret taking your time on this earth for granted. If only I had given you as much attention during your life as I have felt through your death.
