It’s been years since I’ve read 11/28. I remember reading it for the first time and being immediately captivated by the story and it’s characters. I think back to the times i remember reading this book with such fondness, because it welcomed me into a different world, one which i once dreamed of having. When I first read it I was a completely different person, I had different hobbies, different friends and I thought of life a lot differently, this book helped me find new values to believe in. I remember when your tiktok was still up and you mentioned struggling with bullies which I have struggled with a lot. It made me feel seen and know, even though I had never known you it felt familiar. Ever since those times I have completed basic education, gone through bullying (again), this time a lot worse, even to the point of a isolation of sorts, and one of the things that helped me through it was remembering both your and Rowans struggles. In a month I am starting high school in one of the best schools in our country (a european school system thing with gymnasiums) and I have made friends that love me for myself. In the last year, I have made it a point to experience as many new things as I can and, although it’s not always easy, it’s something new. This story has helped me through so much and will always be in the back of my mind reminding me what kind of person I want to be, and for that I want to thank you! I hope that, regardless of where you are and what your doing, you live your life to the fullest and never doubt yourself. I wish for you to fulfill your dreams and never look back, work towards your goals and maybe, whenever the time is right, you’ll come back and finish this story or even publish it, but maybe this is where our story ends and the only place Tate and Rowan will be is in our memories.
