I began reading red prior to starting my final year of high school literally 2 weeks before It began. I became obsessed with the plot and your beautiful writing, you truly have a gift. I am now a senior graduate as of 2 weeks ago, this book has followed me through one of the most stressful years of my life and each time I felt overwhelmed I came back to this book and re read my favourite chapters. so thank you for what you have unknowingly provided me with, this book allowed me to escape reality and enter a world where I didn't need to think of all the troubles that surrounded me. I hope you know what your writing provides people with.
