"Seven years of letters. One rule broken. Everything changes."

PUNK 57

By Penelope Douglas

WHEN WORDS BECOME WEAPONS

They were never meant to meet.

Misha and Ryen were connected by mistake — two strangers paired as pen pals in fifth grade.

No photos.

No names.

No expectations.

Just words on paper, written in ink and trust, growing deeper with every letter.

For seven years, they were everything to each other. Until silence.

When Misha finally breaks the rules and searches for her, he finds a girl nothing like the one he imagined — sharp-tongued, guarded, and surrounded by people who don't truly see her.

And when their worlds collide, the connection that once felt safe turns volatile, painful… irresistible.

Because sometimes the person who knows you best
is the one who can hurt you the most.

WHAT MAKES PUNK 57 UNFORGETTABLE

Penelope Douglas crafts a story that's raw, real, and utterly consuming. This isn't just a romance — it's an exploration of identity, authenticity, and the masks we wear to survive.

Misha and Ryen's connection through letters is pure, honest, and deep. But when they meet in person, everything they thought they knew shatters. The girl he imagined doesn't exist. The boy she trusted becomes her enemy.

And yet, beneath the anger and betrayal, the connection remains — stronger, darker, and impossible to ignore.
