"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

The point of these letters is to write to someone who is no longer here. And that’s you. You left me when I needed you the most. You were strength, happiness, wit, and so bold. You loved people more than you could understand. Your dreams were bigger than the sky. Then something bad happens and you leave me. All you are is a memory to me and everyone around me. I see the way people look at me now. I hear what they say. I’m not what I used to be and that’s your fault. Where was your strength when I needed you the most? I crumbled. I became hardened. My heart could no longer love in the ways it did before. I have walls around my heart. I have walls around me. I don’t let people see me. People don’t love me like they used to. I loved you. I loved who I was when you were inside me. I feel like an empty shell now. Why’d you leave me? Please please come back if you can.
