June 8, 2015 was the day I had been waiting for ever since I found out that Jamie Tworkowski, founder of To Write Love on Her Arms, would be in the Chicago area for his
If You Feel Too Much book tour. This stop would include a book signing, book reading, Q&A session, movie screening, and photo ops.
The event was officially called An Evening with Jamie Tworkowski. There was a framed poster with the title and Jamie's picture outside of the theater. I attended the event with my twin sister Ashley and our friend Sofie. It began about 15 minutes after 7 PM, when it was supposed to begin. When he finally entered the theater, he walked down the aisle closest to where Sofie was sitting. She was so excited; when he passed her on his way down to the stage, she giddily said "Hi!" to him.
After talking about what a weird and cool venue we were in -- there were little movie character statues all around the walls and ceiling of the theater, and we were all sitting in office chairs -- he began by reading two chapters from
If You Feel Too Much, "Flowers to the Sea" and "There is Still Some Time."
