Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
5.0

I was very confused by the letters in this book at first but once that was all cleared up, I loved them. The letters so clearly conveyed how desperately Leonard Peacock wanted people to care. Even if it was only the 3 people he imagined would make up his family one day. He wanted someone to hear his silent screams for help, he wanted to be caught planning his classmates murder and then his own suicide.

In a time where shootings are all to regular, I thought this book conveyed the crucial importance of good teachers who care and responsible parents who pay attention.
