Letter to my readers
From the end of the "The Vice":
Dear Reader,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for not only picking up my book but finishing it. When I began writing The Vice, I didn’t have a direction. Just a narrator in my head telling me what she was thinking. Then as I kept writing, and then rewriting each chapter, I found not only the direction, but the purpose. Which was to help people feel seen and less alone.
While I have not spent my adult life living like Harper, I find that we share similar insides. The unrelenting internal voice, the fear of abandonment, and the trust issues that come with a childhood of self-reliance and wicked people.
And I know that I’m not alone. Since this is a second edition, I was able to see the reviews and personal emails that were sent, telling me about how they related to Harper and her struggles. And the ones who may not be able to directly relate, found a deeper understanding of things they hadn’t before.
While this book has come to a close, Harper’s story certainly has not. And if you choose to move forward in the series, please be advised that the next book, The Victim, can be a tough read and should be read when you are in a good place to do so. My series was written and published with the intent of making a difference in people’s lives, either in their understanding and empathy, or in how they relate and feel seen in the world. It was not meant to cause harm.
All content warnings, and further information on the series can be found at my website: www.JenniferJensenBooks.com. And if you feel inclined to do so, please share your feedback on Amazon, Goodreads or even privately with me through the ‘send message’ portion of my website.
Thank you again for reading and supporting the world I have created! All the best!
Jennifer R. Jensen
