I thought it was a horror book, like writing letters to ghosts. Which is weird, thank God it's not about that.

Every chapter in this book are related to each letter Laurel wrote and to her life. Not the best book I've read to be honest, for me this is just a story about the daily life of Laurel and nothing so special about it, just about a normal teenage life. But it's unique how Laurel wrote those letters to the dead like they're still alive and she was just talking about her problem to them.
