This Is Not A Love Letter

by Kim Purcell

Recommended by

"A fast-paced and heartbreaking story about racial tension, depression and loss in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Jessie is writing letters to her boyfriend Chris, with whom she recently broke up – just before he vanished. Chris is one of very few black people in a mostly white town, and Jessie grows increasingly afraid that he’s been murdered. The first-person narration is relentless and raw, as Jessie confesses things to the absence of Chris that she never was able to say to him in person."
