Oh, this was such a great read! I loved reading Laurel's letters that she writes, as she starts high school, talking to this people who are dead about what was going on her life, and how her sister had just died. It was an emotional story, and I had a great time with it.

This is epistolary, the story is told in a series of letters that Laurel is writing, to a number of different people, from musicians to actors who have passed. She's talking about how these people have entered her life, from in her past, to those she's being introduced to now and she's getting to know their lives, and how they might relate with her own.

This was a story about grief, but it's also one of growing up, and dealing with all the high school things, like making friends, and it was really great to watch Laurel's journey unfold. Sometimes she wasn't making the best of decisions, like drinking, but that does happen.

Her sister's death was traumatic to her. We know there's more to the story, it says so in the synopsis. But when we find out what that secret was, it's pretty hard. I mean, I know she was a teenager, and she's human, mistakes are made, but the way things came together really sucked, and Laurel had to deal with it all.

I had a great time reading this book, it was just so quick and easy and the pages just flew by!

4.5/5

Really enjoyed this book! It reminded me a lot of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. If somehow this book and TPoBaW could be combined, it'd be thee perfect book!

I really loved how honest the book was. Another facet that I loved were the little facts about the people that the MC was writing to.

I unfortunately was not able to read this book. I was excited when ever I had chosen to download or pick this book up on Netgalley. However, time moves by so quickly and I never got to read it.

I was intrigued by the premise of this book but had a hard time getting into it. I wasn't able to finish it for this reason, but I do know that some of my friends appreciated the style and the story of this title.
