About this item
"Just the right touch of humor, mystery, drama, and romance should earn this a place on every teen bookshelf." - Kirkus (starred review) This heartfelt debut novel from Kenneth Logan, reminiscent of Love Letters to the Dead and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, explores a muddy landscape of truth and lies and lays bare the sometimes painful but often hopeful work of writing ones own authentic story.If you asked anyone in his small Vermont town, theyd tell you the facts: James Liddell, star athlete, decent student, and sort-of boyfriend to cute, peppy Theresa, is a happy, funny, carefree guy.But whenever James sits down at his desk to write, he tells a different story. As he fills his drawers with letters to the people in his world - letters he never intends to send - he spills the truth: hes trying hard, but he just isnt into Theresa. Its his friend, a boy, who lingers in his thoughts.Jamess secret letters are his safe space - but his truth cant stay hidden for long. Will he come clean to his parents, his teammates, and himself, or is he destined to live a life of fiction?
