"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 didn’t know you. But I still feel guilty when thinking about your death. I wonder if at some point I did something to cause a chain reaction that made a negative impact in your day and there was just one too many good-for-nothing, bad days for you. I know thinking like this makes it seem like I think that I strongly impact a lot of peoples lives, but I do not believe that. What I believe is that everything is linked, I believe in the butterfly effect. So the smallest impact someone might have in somebody else’s life still might affect the outcome of their story. Your death also reminded me that even if one isn’t affected or one doesn’t see a problem this does not mean it does not exist. There is so much happening that one will never know of, one thinks that if one had known of this one could have helped but in the end, one was simply too blind. You and I never had a chance to introduce ourselves but now I will.
Hello, Eli!
It is very nice to meet you, I’m E.
I hope we can be friends
