Hi, River. I apologize for commenting now, as this has nothing to do with today's episode. For reasons I wont be getting into, this is the last episode of your novel I'll be able to read so I'd just like to let you know a few things. I want you to know just how much your novel, and the novels and comics of writers like you have helped me. I started reading Soft Touch about when you first published it. I was not in a good place at the time, I found myself and my sexuality extremely disgusting. I hate to use that word, "disgusting," but it's truly how I felt. But I kept reading these novels and comics despite what my brain was telling me. These are what helped me come to terms with my sexuality and the fact that no matter how hard I try, I cannot change it. I remember the episode where we see high school Aiden struggling to understand and accept himself, and I related to him so much at that time. I know some people may find it silly how a simple book could mean so much to someone, but I need you to know that it does mean that much. Your writing and your story give me so much hope. I've always known that there are people in the world like the ones in your novel, but you really made me believe it. People that are kind, and supporting, and will accept you no matter what. It's unlikely that I will ever find people like this, but I hope I will. Its unfortunate that I wont know how the story ends, but I'm grateful that I got to read it at all. Sorry this is quite long and personal, but I just need you to know how much i admire your strength to write this and to inspire others that it's okay, and normal to not be straight, because that's something that so many deal with. Anyway, thank you for all that you do River, I want to accept myself and you and others writers like you have made that seem like a possibility to me. Thanks.
Jamie, a softy who likes to grumble, is reeling from a stunning event in his small town. On top of everything else, his high school enemy Aiden Callahan is moving back home. The two haven't seen each other in years, but Jamie can tell that Aiden is keeping his own secrets - and that something about him is different.
