"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’ll never let you go,” I’ve looked back to that day in my English class and remember the horrified look on your face as I almost dropped you to the floor, but we both laughed at the thought of it. I think about the words I said as I held you, and the truth is I’ve taken them so dearly to my heat recently. I have never let you go and sadly I don’t want you. I’ve come to face the facts that it does get easier but I still am hoping that I do get to see you again because God I miss you so damn much, Cyd. I miss your voice and your laugh more than anything in the world right now. I miss the bus ride, I miss walking home with you. I miss having you so close. I wish to see you soon…I can’t take this anymore.
