Book Review: Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira

Love letters to the dead by Ava Dellaira 

It begins as an assignment for English class: Write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. And he died young, just like May did. Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to people like Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger, and more; though she never gives a single one of them to her teacher. She writes about starting high school, navigating new friendships, falling in love for the first time, learning to live with her splintering family. And, finally, about the abuse she suffered while May was supposed to be looking out for her. Only then, once Laurel has written down the truth about what happened to herself, can she truly begin to 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 begin to discover her own path.

REVIEW:

I first saw this book while browsing for good books on goodreads and I have been excited to buy and read this book for months so when I saw a copy at fullybooked, I bought it even though its a hardbound copy which costs 800+ pesos an amount in which I could've gotten my self three paperback books. I was so excited to read this that I didn't even care that it costs too much because I thought it would be such a great read and the cover is just so pretty.

I was wrong. I didn't end up loving this book at all.
