A lot of people said this book would be heartbreaking, but it wasn't really heartbreaking for me... (Is there something wrong with me? Am I too insensible?)
It's really sad that Laurel lost her sister May and what happened to Laurel the night May died, but it wasn't shocking. It was quite obvious what happened to her, actually.

Also it was... just a bunch of teenage problems. When Laurel was writing, she sometimes seemed like a really interesting girl: she liked poems and the way she described some things... Beautiful.
But on other moments she was just some dumb, annoying teenager. That's why it wasn't too boring, but I don't think such people as Lauren exist. She wasn't real to me.

Despite all this criticism, I did enjoy Love Letters to the Dead :)
It's a quick read and it is sometimes beautifully written!

Oh, and (although I hate open ends) an open end would probably be better for this book. In real life, if you write (mostly negative) about

a teacher

in your letters, you don't give them to

that same teacher back.

. And she also talks about really personal things which I wouldn't let anybody read, especially not

a teacher.

Ava Dellaira could better have just stopped in the middle of a sentence because she died or something like that. Something that makes you thinking: what happened?? WHY has she stopped writing letters?! but that the story doesn't tell that part.

Probably, if she had done an open end, I would have a hate/love-relation with the end but oh, well... I must have some criticism, right? ;)

3/5 stars for this book
