This understandably rattles the sensitive Luca, who gets advice from Doctor Maxwell to write Griffin back.īut Luca’s got reason for her panic disorder and for abandoning her penpal relationship with Griffin. Well, he’s written her to ask her about her hard liquor preferences – and to tell her she sucks for dropping their connection. She and Griffin had continued on their writing relationship far beyond the second grade, but stopped writing one another eight years before, when they were both seventeen. It’s been year since Luca had thought of Griffin Quinn, but here he is, back in her mailbox. Ryan isn’t her real last name – it was the one assigned to her by second grade teacher so her students could participate in a penpal program with a group of kids in a small town in England. Luca, stricken with panic disorder, needs all the help and support Doctor Maxwell can afford to keep her spiraling thoughts from escalating.Īt her father’s apartment – among the various artifacts of his life – she finds a brand-new letter addressed to Luca Ryan. With the encouragement of her psychiatrist, Luca Vinetti has travelled to Manhattan in order to clean out her father’s apartment after avoiding doing so for a full year. Which is too bad, because I definitely think parts of it are worth a read, and the style of writing is excellent. But what I found could change everything.Dirty Letters works as a good romance and a good character study, but had some annoying flaws that kept it far away from the higher grades. People have done crazier things for love. But I wanted more-more Griff, in the flesh-so I took a big chance and went looking for him. He asked that I trust him and said it was for the best. So it only made sense that we would take our relationship to the next level and see each other in person. Our letters quickly went from fun to flirty to downright dirty, revealing our wildest fantasies. Only now we were adults, and that connection had grown to a spark. Griffin forgave me, and somehow we were able to rekindle our childhood connection. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. A scathing one-one with eight years of pent-up anger. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn't have been more different from me.
