Even when I think I'm reading to escape my reality, sometimes there is a book that shoves me right into it. Forcing me to accept and feel and the emotions, all the feels. This is that story. It took my all but a couple of hours to fly through. It's definitely now in the top 5.

I really liked the way author wrote this story, but I think it was missing something. But still I can say I enjoyed it.

I wanted to like this book more, I really did. But there were just some things I had a problem with. My biggest problem was with the romance. While it made me feel tingly at some points, it came on too fast. And as you read the book, you understand why they were able to slip into it so easily but it still felt unrealistic. Something just didn't do it for me. But I really like the messages that were shared in these pages. I loved Laurel and shared her same child-like view of her sister. I always thought my sisters were magical. But sometimes, her immaturity and naivety was annoying and I didn't want to hear about magic potions and fairies. But I guess that's the thing about depressed characters, you don't always like what they have to say. They get annoying because they just cant seem to feel anything. I think it is an important thing to understand when reading this book.

This book has been a million times better then I had expected. It deals with a girl, Laurel and her coping with her sisters death through writing letters to dead people like Kurt Cobain, Judy Garland and Amy Winehouse. The first 10% I thought I would really hate that book, because the writing style was very unique but in the beginning I didn't like it. But when I finally adjusted to the style I was just sitting there, reading with tears in my eyes through the rest of the book. It was a very beautiful language and what I especially liked was how realistic and normal all of these characters seemed to be. It wasn't just about Laurels problems but you can also see that the author had done a good job to include other characters life's into the story and succeeded in it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read contemporary novels about dealing with realistic problems and realizing the beauty and truth of life.
