"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

As much as you might not be literally dead, it seems like you are. My best friend for a year. The one who showed me what it was like to really have a friend. You left me at my lowest, and I don’t expect you to come back. Telling me I’m the reason she hurts herself. And that I’m just a rebound and my feelings are invalid. I’m sorry that I hurt you those times, but you didn’t have to do this. You didn’t have to leave me. I know that if you came back I’d let you in but I can’t this time. So don’t come back. I’ll just pretend you’re on a long extended vacation. Just as we did before. I love you abah, my friend forever. This is my goodbye.
