From A Star Wars Fan

Question:

I just wanted to say that I love your Alice books so much. I read the first one when I was the same age as Alice, AKA 3 years ago. I’m fourteen now, and I have read and reread the series at least five times now. Last night I stayed up until 1 AM reading Now I’ll Tell you
Everything, the latest I’ve ever stayed up reading a non-Star Wars book. I hate to admit that a book character has impacted my life, but Alice is one of the only two I have let do that. I realized I wanted to be a psychologist at around the same time Alice did. I laughed so much when Lester suggested his own name for Patricia. I’ve never been emotional, only four books have made me cry, and Ben’s death in the last book did. You’re an amazing writer, and I wish I had gotten the chance to eagerly await the release of more than just the last two books. Now I’m rambling, so I’m going to sign off. Thank you so much. She’s one of my best friends, no joke. I love Alice as much as I love Star Wars.

That’s a real compliment, and I appreciate so much that you took time to tell me.
