Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
3.0
Rating: 3.5
"'But no one else can save you, not really. Not from yourself.'"
I loved this book, yet I also hated it.
Before picking this book up to read, I read a few reviews and I didn't think I would like the story. Turns out I was wrong.
This is the type of a book that you just have to pick up and read and decide for yourself whether it was good or not.
This is the story of a very weak girl who is coping with the dead of her sister. This isn't a fairytale ending. This book deals with serious issues.
I didn't like the main character Laurel, and I believe that the author purposely made her unlikeable, because the Laurel in the story is not the real Laurel. She's a weak, asily influenced girl who just wants to find someone who can save her from herself.
I didnt like the whole writing letters to the dead idea. I wished at the end of the book the book that it was just a long letter to May. But I realize now that each of the dead people she sent letters to helped her cope and move on. They were important to her in a spiritual way.
This really wasn't a happy story. This is a story about a girl named Laurel, overshadowed by her sister's memory, is learning to cope and find herself.
One of the most importan things to take away from this book is that you cannot rely on finding someone to save yourself, you must rely on yourself.
