"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

There is so much to say to you and it seems not enough words. You were always my first call when something went wrong and I need to someone to listen to me. You were my first love. I know I always had a wall between us becoming more than friends but I was always so worried if it didn’t work I’d lose the one person who meant the most to me. You were so kind to everyone you met and always saw the best in them. I remember reading the email about the search ending they had found you and my heart has never hurt so much. I couldn’t believe that we had just talked and now you were gone and I’d never hear your voice again. I was so angry that someone who had just met you could decide to take you away from so many who loved you. I still miss you now and feel you around me at times. I’ll never forget the boy who taught me what it truly means to love another.
