Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
3.0
I liked this book but had trouble with the narrator. At times she sounded super young and I would have found her back story more believable if she were actually a year or so younger. I also found the present-day setting unbelievable as the characters were all obsessed with 80s-90s and classic rock artists like Nirvana, Guns and Roses, Slash, The Doors, and Janis Joplin. Would have been more effective is set in the 90s. Anyways that being said it was a decent read. Told in epistolary form, a girl coping with the death of her sister writes a diary in the form of letters to dead people. The reader has to piece together information and doesn't get the whole truth until the narrator is ready to reveal it. Quick read dealing with tons of emotional issues, but could be better with a few tweaks.
