Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

Goodreads Summary Fans of Kasie West’s P.S. I Like You, and Ava Dellaira’s Love Letters to the Dead, will love this book! I bought this book from BookOutlet because it seemed mildly interesting, and so I could brag that I bought 14 books for $42 (that dang boxing day sale, am I right?) I fully went into this purchase expecting this book to look pretty on my shelves for two years, but I just so happened to read the right book before it. So when I finished Follow Me Back by A.V. Geiger I was looking for something similar, you know the whole “anonymous correspondence” trope. I found it in this book – because duh, the title- and absolutely loved it! But boy did this book make me cry, only at the very end though, so you’re safe readers who hate sad books (I’m talking to you mom). Mostly I was smiling like a crazy woman reading about this adorable love story. There are some clichés in this book, but they are good clichés. Don’t tell me you hate them, clichés are the foundation

Ambition

 This is my submission for the 2018 Yallwest teen writing contest! That was my story, but I wanted a different one, In all its glory, I wanted it undone. I let ambition hook me, and claw its way to the top, where it controlled my body and mind see, it only got worse with time, like a junk shop. I felt the shift, Slowly everything changed, I watched my soul lift, and then it rearranged. I ignored the signs, of a blackening heart, I would stop this design, if only I was smart. I lost control, and now I'm left all alone. M.M. Please do not use or copy my work without permission!
