We hope you'll be inspired, shocked, amused, and touched by this selection of letters from the DearTeenMe.com website. 'How awesome would it be if authors wrote letters to their teen selves?' A year and a half later, you can pick up DEAR TEEN ME from Zest Books, read more on the website, or just kick back and enjoy the selection we'll be posting here. Co-curators: E. Kristin Anderson and Priya Chand. The individual letters are property of the contributing authors. We can't guarantee your head won't explode from the mix of angst and excitement, but you *will* enjoy the ride.

What could this world possibly have in store for Alexis Bennett, just another normal girl out of all the ordinary? As a matter of fact, it seems it has a whole list of things lined up, like who she falls in love with, to who she despises and such things as unexpected twists and tales in her life. I bet your asking... Why her? What makes her so special? What makes her stand out? Well, to answer all those questions, nothing does. She's no celebrity or any form of royal, no saint got her here, just a shove by a mean fangirl got her in the arms of Reece Mastin.
