Dear Alice,

Wow! I finished your book and I am truly amazed at how everything worked out between the trial, family, and friends. I am so so so so so so happy that you won the trial. I don't understand in any way how he could not have been charged. Just because you got him wrong in the lineup, doesn't mean it wasn't him. You knew it was between four and five but you were scared and picked the wrong one. I don't think I could have even faced him through a glass wall it would scare the living death out of me to see the man who raped me ever again. And, I know how bad rape is and it's a terrible thing to say this, but I feel like when you got raped it brought your family closer together. You said earlier in the book that your family was weird and did not have very much "family time", but now I feel like your always with them because they love you and are there to protect you. And, oh boy the boys!! You are getting around my friend, from one guy to the next! I think that is great for you to experience different types of men, even though a man is what hurt you. The worst thing I've ever read is in your book and the way Lila treats you after she got raped. First, you guys were best friends how could she no want you to be there to help her. That is just ridiculous. And, you know what it's like to be raped, you can help her understand it and win her case. Why she doesn't want to follow through with her case I don't get it. I just can't believe that she thinks it could be your fault, because someone wants revenge on you for winning the case. You got raped to, you didn't choose that and the last thing you needed was your best friend to get raped and never talk to you again. But, Alice I don't understand how you became a heroine user. It just doesn't make much sense. You don't need that, it's not necessary, yeah you went through a very rough time, but you held through when it was happening. It's almost like you gave up when you just about to reach the top again. Hope you are doing well now. I still have mixed feelings on the story, but it got through to me.

Sincerely,
Ellie
