Dear Jodi,

Oh my goodness. I'm so addicted to this book I don't even know what to say. It's so scary because I feel like it is just like my life. Like the events that happen to the characters in the book like 9/11 have happened to me also. No, I have never been in a school shooting, but how it happened in the story makes it feel like anything can happen and it's scary. It's exactly how high school is, you have your group of friends that your always with. You talk about things you like and do things you like. The friends you had in elementary or even middle school might no longer be a part of your life. Because things change and things happen. One day your part of the crowd that nobody likes, you look in the mirror and decide no more am I who they make fun of, I am one of them. You change to fit in, and you lose all the senses of what it was like to be who you used to be. Because to make yourself feel better, you have to make someone else feel worse. And that's what Peter went through, Josie left him because she realized that if she kept hanging out with him she would become him and would never belong. It's just like every school and it's scary how well you express this in your story. It's like you know me or something. It's crazy, but I love it and I can't wait to find out what happens.
