SYNOPSIS:
Laurel chooses Kurt
Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. And he died young, just like
May. Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to the dead—to people
like Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, Amelia Earhart, and Amy
Winehouse—though she never gives a single one of them to her teacher.
She writes about starting high school, navigating the choppy waters of
new friendships, learning to live with her splintering family, falling
in love for the first time, and, most important, trying to grieve for
May. But how do you mourn for someone you haven't forgiven?
It's not until Laurel has written the truth about what happened to herself that she can finally accept what happened to May. And only when Laurel has begun to see her sister as the person she was—lovely and amazing and deeply flawed—can she truly start to discover her own path.
In a voice that's as lyrical and as true as a favorite song, Ava Dellaira writes about one girl's journey through life's challenges with a haunting and often heartbreaking beauty.

REVIEW:
Love Letters to the Dead was a beautifully written novel about what it really means to grow up. It delves into the complicated issues and circumstances that some young adults will face. Loss, pain, figuring out who you are and wanting acceptance. Ava Dellaira has a stunning voice and her characters feel more than people who exist in a piece of fiction, it's like they exist somewhere between fiction and reality.
When I was in High School The Perks of Being a Wallflower was passed around and people talked about how moving and true to life it was. Letters to the Dead delivered everything I expected Perks of Being a Wallflower to.
This is one for your bookshelf. Absolutely wonderful.
There is underage drinking and some sexual content in this novel.

Love Letters to the Dead is a beautifully-written debut novel, which lives in the same vein of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Thirteen Reasons Why. If you like either of these books, I highly recommend Ava Dellaira's Love Letters to the Dead.

ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
