As heartbreakingly beautiful as this book was, I was moved, but still tired. I love the idea of ​​the book and especially the beautiful and lyrical writing that this book brought. I loved how the prose of the novel was written in letter format and how I could see so much of Laurel’s pain over her sister’s death.

What’s more, I enjoyed reading about the struggles he faced in getting over May’s death while dealing with his family’s crushing relationship and the concept of “fitting in” at his high school.

Basically, throughout the book, Laurel was a mess. Despite her very weak character in the book, I appreciated her weakness. It made me realize that human reality can make a person weak and sometimes it’s good to admit that you can’t be strong enough. Strong people can sometimes be weak; Acceptance is required to fully understand this point and simply move forward.

However, I was troubled by the turn of events. To me it was a typical high school story with a whole bunch of high school clichés that didn’t impress me in the slightest. It was just the clichés that I didn’t enjoy and a whole bunch of other aspects that I just didn’t like. But I enjoyed the story and I applaud Delaira for a well done novel. The writing was really beautiful and captivating that I had my nose in the book most of the day. I loved how the words resonated in my head and how they were perfectly woven together to make such a dark and beautiful book.

In Search Of Us

I would definitely recommend this book to several other YA readers who are interested in the idea of ​​family, friends, and relationships. Love Letters to the Dead doesn’t just reflect how Laurel feels about her sister May, but she learns about friendships that grow, family that can fall apart but still stay together, and relationships that last. The first and main reason I started reading this book was the second sentence in the back of the book. “

It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain – he died young, as did Laurel’s sister May – so maybe he can understand what Laurel is going through.

For me, as a Nirvana fan, it was a must buy. And maybe the dead sister part is what attracted me a little bit. I don’t know, but for some reason all the books I’ve really liked are the ones where at least one person dies.

So to get to the point of this book, it’s all written in letters to a dead person, most of them to Kurt Cobain. I usually hate books written in letters, which is why I haven’t read them yet

. In these letters he tells the story of his life. Throughout the book he refers to his dead sister Mace and how guilty he feels about her death and thinks it’s all his fault. In one of his last letters, he explains what happened.

The story is about this girl Laurel. At the beginning of the book, she’s at a new high school and she’s not feeling confident and she wants to be as strong as May was and all that. He eventually makes friends and they are all spoiled kids. Two girls who love each other, but they don’t want to come out. One of them always has other boyfriends that she does things with and her brother hits on her. Laurel goes from being a cute little schoolgirl to a teenage girl. He is drunk during the day, he misses class. As a rule, I don’t like such stories. I hate people who brag about how much they drink and how late they are. Laurel fell in love with Skye, but every time they had sex, Laurel would start crying, and at one point, while drunk, she tries to jump off the balcony, and that’s when Skye throws her out. It’s so sad to read how devastated she is by this.

I didn’t care about the plot of Laurel’s current life, what I really cared about was May. At first you think May was the example. You feel that he was perfect. Because that’s how Laurel saw and sees him. But when it turns out that Sky knows him and he wasn’t as perfect as everyone else, your whole view of this book is destroyed. You don’t know what to think and what to believe. In the end, it turns out that Mei is very often drunk and has been dating boys. May took Laurel on a “movie date” with her boyfriend. However, these dates included May and her boyfriend going to a party and Laurel being assaulted by her boyfriend. The night May dies is the night Laurel recounts the abuse. Mei stands on the edge of the bridge, then falls to her death. Or he jumped. Throughout the book you get the feeling that May died by accident, but now I’m not so sure. I honestly think he killed himself. Which makes the whole story extra sad.

I mean, words can’t be enough for a lot of things. But, you know, I think we should try. “

Love Letters To The Dead By Ava Dellaira

This is a quote from one of Laurel’s friends, Hanna, after she tells them her sister died. He apologized for not telling them. I think Hannah’s quote is 1) very relevant and 2) can be applied to very different situations and most of all I think it says what a lot of things in life are. There are so many things that words can’t fix, but if you don’t say everything, everything will remain unfixed forever, and by trying to say something, at least it can be avoided.

“What I told you about saving people is not true. You might think it is because you might want to save someone, or you might want to save someone so badly. But no one else can save you, not really. Not from myself. You are sleeping in the foothills and a wolf comes down from the mountains. And you hope that someone wakes you up. or persecution
