I found myself cry at times because I really connected to her and felt her pain I like how you get to know the main character. What was one of the most memorable moments of Love Letters to the Dead? This book reminds me of that type of genre Yes, If you like movies/shows such as 'Mean Girls', 'Clue less'. Would you listen to Love Letters to the Dead again? Why? 'Love Letters to the Dead' is worth the time, but honestly? Not worth the whole credit. The only thing worse than a waste of money is a waste of time. Just don't expect knock your socks off prose/story. It's a decent enough listen, rather engaging. Julia Whelan really knocks it out of the park, though-as she ALWAYS does. There's a remarkable lack of depth in the day-to-day. It's the same thing that most YA is about: friendship, fitting in, first love, the angst of knowing you're different, knowing you may love people that society frowns upon. When she flows into the day to day life of Laurel, things falter a bit. It reads like the most tragic poetry there is. When Dellaira writes of Laurel's communion with the dead, the book really shines. Laurel chooses those who died utterly tragic deaths, summing up how she feels about her sister, May's, death. The Publisher's Summary pretty much covers what the entire book is about. 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. 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. It’s not until Laurel has written the truth about what happened to herself that she can finally accept what happened to May. But how do you mourn for someone you haven’t forgiven? 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.

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. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. It begins as an assignment for English class: Write a letter to a dead person.
