Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
2.0
More precisely, 2.7
It wasn't terribly bad, but it wasn't enjoyable.
Did not hit me (Although it dealt with very sensitive topics). I wasn't feeling it.. I had to force myself to pick up the book, and when I did, The story did not flow, it dragged out, so it took me forever to finish the book.
The letter format felt forced, and to beginning of each letter with a wikipedia page was WACK!
The side characters were a bit likable, but we did not spend enough time with them, also, I thought that their stories were far more interesting than our main protagonist.
First, I thought wouldn't recommend this book for non-metalheads, or if you're not exposed to classical music/film (Basically if you don't recognize the names of people the letters are sent to, (mentioned in the blurb on the back the book)) don't pick it up, because you wouldn't be familiar with the names mentioned, and won't relate, or get the references.
But now, since I did not like the book as a whole, even with getting the refs (since what attracted me from the beginning was the mention of Kurt Cobain, and the others). I wouldn't recommend it. period.
