Whisper to me

by Nick Lake

"Consider this the most screwed-up love letter ever. Here are some things I need to say to you: 1. I hear voices (well, just the one voice really); 2. I miss you; 3. I wish I could take back what I did to you; 4. Forgive me. I should have left Oakwood the day I made that terrible discovery on the beach. The day the voice in my head first said those awful things to me. Before everything spun out of control. But then I wouldn't have met you . . ." Told through letter-writing flashbacks, Cassie is a New Jersey shore teen who over the course of one summer experiences the exhilarating highs of new love, the frightening free-falls of personal demons and family tragedy, and the bumps along the way to forgiveness, acceptance, and self-discovery.
