This book was a tough ride.
The writing style was really painful for me (because it was so slow and the letters didn’t really help me feel immersed) but at the same time Laurel‘s story was quite beautiful.
If it weren’t for the slowness of the book and how I really didn’t get to connect with anyone in this book, I may have given it more stars, but 2 feel right to me right now.
This book felt quite therapeutic though, even if it’s just in the knowledge of that I‘m happy I‘m not as depressed and traumatized as Laurel.

Hola! Acabo de acabar este libro y quiero comentarles mi opinión.
La narración de la historia es amena y la trama te logra atrapar en verdad.
Es un libro que narra la superación de la protagonista y todo lo que ella tiene que hacer para descubrir su identidad como persona.
Los personajes me parecieron auténticos y logre simpatizar con cada uno de ellos.
Es una historia muy bonita que quedará en mi corazón por eso pero siento que falto algo.
Aun así lo recomiendo ya que si quieres leer algo que sea más o menos tranquilo, que lo puedas leer de una pasada. Es el libro adecuando

This book had an interesting premise with writing letters to popular actors/musicians that have died. I was thinking while reading it that some kids might not know who some of the people were but the author gave background information for each of them that went along with Laurel's story which I thought was clever.
I wasn't a big fan of Laurel. I know she went through a lot especially Also, I was pissed at her when she was allowing that friend of her sister's boyfriend to take advantage of her. While I was reading it, I wanted to yell at her to tell her that she was smarter than that to let him do that!!!
One thing that "urks" me with YA literature is when the parents are sucky parents. I know it must be super hard to loose a love one especially a son or daughter but for Laurel's mom to just leave her and her dad and move out to California was selfish in my opinion. I'm glad at the end her parents' behavior seem to change for the better.
This book will be for fans of Perks of Being a Wallflower although I have to admit I liked that much more than this.

with witnessing her sister commit suicide which shocked me. Her sister didn't show that she was depressed and I was surprised when she jumped. There must have been something going on with the last guy she dated because the last time she saw him, she was crying and upset.One thing that "urks" me with YA literature is when the parents are sucky parents.
