Sometimes the best letters are the ones that go unanswered
It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person - any dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain - he died young, and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand a bit of what Laurel is going through. Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart... it's like she can't stop. And she'd certainly never dream of handing them in to her teacher. She writes about what it's like going to a new high school, meeting new friends, falling in love for the first time - and how her family has shattered since May died.
But much as Laurel might find writing the letters cathartic, she can't keep real life out forever. The ghosts of her past won't be contained between the lines of a page, and she will have to come to terms with growing up, the agony of losing a beloved sister, and the realisation that only you can shape your destiny. A lyrical, haunting and stunning debut from the protégé of Stephen Chbosky (THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER).

It all begins with an assignment and ends with numerous letters to dead artists inside a notebook. Laurel has to write one of them for her english class but as she begins she can‘t stop. Almost every day she writes a letter. She writes about her past which she can‘t forget and her present which she can’t handle. She tells the artists about new friends, her first love, her parents and especially her sister who is also dead now.
This debut from Ava Dellaira is not just a beautiful book for teenagers but a self-reflecting and thoughtful insight into the soul of a young girl that is fighting against problems not every teenager has.
This book is written with such beautiful and true words that one self can feel Laurels pain and understand her thoughts. You wont forget this story easily.
