I honestly don’t even know how to put this into words. *Spite* left me absolutely wrecked in the best possible way. I’ve read it twice now, and each time has been a whirlwind of emotions I wasn’t prepared for. The first time, I couldn’t stop—I devoured the entire thing in one night, and by morning, I was sobbing. Not out of sadness, but because I had just experienced something *so* breathtakingly beautiful that I didn’t know what to do with myself. I cannot even begin to express how much I admire what you’ve created. Every bit of praise in the world belongs to you. I still can’t believe a person could write something like this—it’s that incredible. I aspire for my own work to be half as good as yours. I already can’t wait to read more of your work, and no matter what, *please* keep writing. This is one of the most powerful, unforgettable things I’ve ever read.
