A book review by Madeline Soucie
Laurel is just
starting high school and her first English assignment is to write a letter to a
dead person. She ends up writing to a lot of people- Kurt Cobain, Amy
Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, and more. She tells them about high school and her
life growing up. How her sister died, and the trouble she has been having with her
divorced parents. New friends and crushes and such.
As Laurel writes
her letters and the year progresses, she slowly starts to come to terms with
what happened to her. As she comes to terms, she can finally accept her
sister's death. Laurel also accepts that she's not mad at her sister, and can
move on and find her own path to discover who she is.
In this nice and
sweet story the reader is introduced to Laurel through her letters. This is a
good book for anyone who liked The Fault in our Stars.
