    Hey there! I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved this book. I stayed up to 1:15 am on a school night to read all of it because I simply couldn't put it down. I thought that the characters were extremely well-developed and that the story was great. The visceral way in which Maya's cuticle and hair-pulling was described never failed to make me cringe and feel for her, and the back-and-forth in Eli's head between him and Gabriel was so excellent. I cried multiple times reading this book, and as someone who struggles with anxiety and depression similar to what Maya was experiencing this was extremely realistic, and I just want to thank you for writing this and making me feel not alone. I copied down Mrs. Reid's little speech she gives to Maya towards the end and carry that around now just to remind myself of how being someone who feels the world doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Thank you for writing this.
