The true story of two madly in love and separated by death after only a year in each other's lives. In this memoir, I use poetry and anecdotes to investigate relationships, young adulthood, and the beautiful fragility of life. This work is my is my love letter to my late significant other, and my way of making sure our story can never be forgotten.
Simon lived with us for about 6 months and then many other overnight visits. He was like another son in our home. Maya did a wonderful job sharing her love with Simon. Simon will always be someone you should have been blessed to know, and through this book, you can meet him.
This memoir really made me reflect on what it means to find a soulmate and how life can be unjust in ways that we can't ever truly understand. I also really appreciate the realness and raw emotion in Maya's writing. What a beautiful way to keep Simon's memory alive ❤
