(if you haven't read Allegiant, you shouldn't read this)
Dear Veronica Roth,
I've read all your books. I love all your books. You are one of the most brilliant author out there. And I hope you read this one day, because it would mean a lot to me, not in an attention-seeking type of meaning, but in an actual deep meaning because your books made me feel things. I don't know how you do it, but you turned your last book in something more heart wrenching than a book by John Green (I know they're different genres, but yours made me leak like a freaking faucet for an hour!).
I know people will hate on you, especially the fangirls, for doing what you did in Allegiant. I don't hate you, and never will. You have every right to do what you did. You are the God of this story, to put it this way. I know you wanted Divergent to stand out from any other dystopian novel. I understand. I don't know necessarily what the purpose of this letter is, but mostly, I want you to know that I understand. I deeply, truly understand.
It broke my heart into tiny pieces when I read that scene and everything following. From before that, I started tearing up and when that happened, I started truly crying. Every time I remember her last thoughts or the way he reacted I feel a pressure in my chest, where my heart is. And then the tears come kicking and screaming to come out.
If any of your readers stumble upon this, I hope they understand and they don't hate you. You are a very talented and intelligent and really awesome (because adjectives) writer and I hope books will come spilling from you from now on.
Love,
Di, from Romania.
P.S.: Not even my cats can help me with my mourning.
