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!?
Jeff Hobbs
Thank you so much for this kindest of messages. I’m sorry I’m only just getting to it now. It means a lot, for real. I miss him. The film adaptation is now on Netflix. I hope you have been well in the meantime and I’d be interested in learning of any other book recommendations you might have that have similarly moved you? Best, Jeff

Jeff Hobbs:
Hi Jeff, I do not really have a question. I just finished reading the book, and I have many different feelings about the story itself as well as about the end. I just wanted to say that I loved it and that I am definitely taking something from it with me. Thank you! Melisa Marcon (?) I just wrote the question mark because otherwise my comment would be sent. Sorry about that.

I've just finished your book, it only took me 3 days to read since I could not put it down. The writing was absolutely beautiful. Even though you start out knowing how the story ends I could not help but hope for a different ending. Is there any progress at all on finding the people who killed Robert? Has there been no leads in the past 3 years?

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?
