Hi and thank you so much for this kindest of notes, it means a lot, for real. I’m sorry I’m just getting to it now. I’m so glad you were moved by Rob and his story. He was a good person and I miss him. The film adaptation is currently on Netflix and that was a special experience to share with his mom. As to your question, Jackie and Rob’s friends still have not spoken since he died. I don’t believe they ever will. What I will say is that sometimes still Jackie will ask me how they are doing, and she’ll ask me to pass along her best to them. So there is still some caring there. But to be blunt, she is still very angry with them. On their side, they just want the best for her. It means a lot that you asked. Thank you, sincerely, Jeff

I finished this book three nights ago. I feel this book carries several themes throughout but for me I felt love was one of the strongest... the love between Jackie and Rob, the love Rob had for his friends, his friends for him and the love you had for your roommate. So my question is what is the status of the rift between Jackie and the Burger Boyz? How are they doing?

Hi Jeff, I just wanted to let you know that I read The Short Tragic Life of Robert Peace three years ago now, and I am still talking about it. In fact, I am currently interviewing for medical schools, and I have brought this book up as one of the most important and impactful books I have ever read. Thank you for impacting my life with this book. And for following my reviews on Goodreads!?
