True Letters from a Fictional Life

by Kenneth Logan and Tricia Levenseller

"Just the right touch of humor, mystery, drama, and romance should earn this a place on every teen bookshelf." --Kirkus (starred review)

This heartfelt debut novel from Kenneth Logan, reminiscent of Love Letters to the Dead and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, explores a muddy landscape of truth and lies and lays bare the sometimes painful but often hopeful work of writing one's own authentic story.

Customer Reviews

So underrated!

Kenneth Logan, one of the most underrated authors I’ve read. This book is very dear to me. I’ve read it countless of times and will read it countless more. Logan’s writing is simple and realistic, yet presents new ideas and themes in a unique light, almost villainizing the main character, James, at times, showcasing the idea that he’s nowhere near a perfect person. James is a teenage boy struggling to come to terms with himself, and in the process of figuring things out, he says and does some things portraying him as not the best person nor friend. No complaints here, however, because this is one of the most realistic novels I’ve read. James’ parents’ reactions, how his two brothers treat him, how his friends treat him, everything. Everything about this book is so incredibly realistic and I can’t get enough of it. Praise for Kenneth Logan. I can only hope he writes more novels!
