Oooh, Martha, I was just driving home from The City (San Francisco), and heard your voice on NPR!! You are truly a famous author now, girl!

And I agree: high school was the deepest, darkest pit in hell...

Congrats on tackling the subject.

I read your book last week ( i live in london, ), and its fucking awesome, for want of better words.
On one hand, I could completely relate to the characters and their relationships, but its was also scary and strangely compelling in so many ways...its the best book i've read in a long time.
congrats on all your success!

I read your book over a week ago and still can't stop thinking about the characters. I bought a copies for my sister and friend, because I knew they's skip over it because of the title. My sister is loving it! Still waiting tio hear from my friend.

Hi everyone,
WOW! Such responses. Hearing from readers is really what makes this whole writing gig worthwhile. I am flabbergasted, and SO pleased to read all your words about the novel.

Juno, who is your aunt? Email me at theresnoforgetting{{AT}}yahoo.com if you don't want to post it publicly.

Thanks again, ALL! XoXO M
