Dear Melvin Burgess, Hi, My name is Lindsie and I just finished reading “Smack” yesterday. I’m sure you get emails like this all of the time, but I hope you take the time to really consider this one. I got so lost in that book, really tied to the characters, all of them. The experience can be a person or it can be a drug. The experience opens a door that was there all the time but you never saw it. Or maybe it blasts you into outer space All that negative stuff. All the pain It just floted away from me, I just floated away from it up and away ” ― Melvin Burgess, Smack “You can do anything you want.
