He saved her life. Then his letters gave her a reason to live. After a suicide attempt, Mya enters an intensive therapy program, numb, disconnected, and unsure whether she truly wants to live.

Each day is an exercise in endurance, but with the steady presence of her best friend and roommate, Javi—the kind of friend who feels like home—she begins the slow, uneven work of healing. Then Javi faces a sudden, life-threatening health crisis, and everything shifts. As he fights for his life, Mya is forced into a role she never expected, drawing on the strength she’s only just begun to rebuild.

When Javi can no longer speak for himself, the letters he left behind become her guide, turning grief into a hunt for meaning and purpose—urging her to take risks, reach outward, and choose a future she once believed was out of reach.

Readers call Letters to Javi “wholesome, homey, emotional, and reflective,” a “deeply human” story with a “dramatic beginning and a beautiful ending.” Despite its heavy subject matter, it’s described as “heartfelt, relatable, and even fun,” and “feels like a hug with a good cry.”

Perfect for fans of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Everything I Never Told You. Tender and emotionally resonant, Letters to Javi is a story about the courage to keep going, the power of friendship, and the quiet ways we hold each other up when the world feels impossibly heavy.
