One bridge. Two guys. Three secrets. Four therapists. Five attempts. Six months. Seven bad habits. Eight family meetings. Nine visits. Ten cuts. One death. Spiritual #4

Alex Brady had been a normal kid when he'd fallen for Bree Treven. It was a cute little romance between two innocent children. But four years later, Bree is far from innocent. After years of abuse and rape committed by her family, little Bree finally snapped. Bree was thrown into Crickly, a place that turns you crazy if you aren't already. Alex was left without a friend in the world. Four years on, Alex is battling bullies at school and neglect at home, but maybe he wont be so alone, when a certain psychopath decides the time is right to make a surprise visit home.

Charlie begins writing back to his friend, and details his life after his original letters.

Fat. Wait, no. Fatter. I distinctly remember when I admitted it to myself, the first time I willingly stepped onto the weighing scale in my bathroom. Sure. I saw it coming. All the secret stashes of M&M's. Hershey's. Mars Bars. I suppose I'd known from the start of the summer that chocolate was the devil... When Aimee gains weight over the summer, she becomes a whole new person. Her mother doesn't exactly help the situation by acting cold and distant, the mysterious boy named James is acting odd, and her childhood friend is going out with her best friend, Vic. When a slot for a column in the school newsletter opens, she grabs the slot and vents her fat, little heart out. Under the alias 'Ex.L', she grabs the attention of the whole school and later, the nation. The catch? The paper is selling out, media is everywhere, and everyone wants to know who 'Ex.L' is. Will she remain undiscovered and find love along the way?
