"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 know you had a lot of family, and I also know you died young. But part of me doesn’t think that many people, if any, really understood you. You had your own path that you were destined to go down. Your stubbornness ruined it. You had a lot going for you and your life had only just begun. Nobody truly knew how you felt. If I could tell you one thing, it’s that you inspired me more than anybody else. I can only imagine what you would have accomplished by now if you were still here. I say that lightly, because you are here. You always will be. You’re everywhere and with everybody you have ever known because that’s just the type of person you are. It’s hard to forget somebody so talented. You died a great person, and all I hope is that you knew that too.
