"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

are you there when i talk to you? i must look like a crazy person from up there, huh? i miss you so much… i wish you were still here. especially now that i just turned 14. i have so many questions about being a teenager. dad misses you so much too. we dont really talk about you. i know i have done some pretty disappointing things but i hope i become the person you always wanted me to become. i love you… this is really hard i feel so vulnerable. im stuck here without anyone to help me through my messes. i know dad says i can always talk to him but its not the same. i will always wish you were here…
