I like it, but it was really similar to The Perks of Being Wallflower. Except this story has a girl and Chbosky's book has a boy as protagonist. They have similar stories as they deal with grief. Some events happened in both books. It was a teenager drama, and you can't escaped to drugs, sex and rock'n roll.

I thought the letters to the Dead original and I learned a lot about the famous people mentioned. I could related with Laurel problems and issues, so I like this book, even isn't an original story.
