Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
4.0
This book made me angry for over half of it, but the ending made it worth it. It was touching, heartfelt and true. Maybe it wrapped up a little too nicely, but the rest of the story was such a downer, Laurel deserved some peace of mind. As I said, the first half made me frustrated because Laurel keeps doing some really stupid things to cope with her grief. She idolizes her sister, who was selfish and was getting into some really bad things, which also made me angry, but it works out in the end as Laurel realizes that maybe she wasn't perfect but she loved her anyway. I've seen reviews where people describe the writing as pretentious and aloof, but it works for this story because that sort of writing shows Laurel trying to cope with her grief by distancing herself from it. Overall I really liked this book.
