Dead Girls Don't Write Letters by Gail Giles
4.0
Dead Girls Don't Write Letters is a truly creepy book about a family whose life is shattered by the death of one of their own. Sunny's life changed when her sister was killed in an apartment fire in New York. Sunny is left to not only deal with the aftermath of her sister's death but also an alcoholic father and a depressed and anguished mother. When a letter arrives announcing that sister, Jazz isn't really dead and will be coming for a visit, Sunny is reluctant to raise the hopes of her already disturbed parents.
Jazz arrives and it is clear from the beginning that she isn't really Sunny's sister, but their mother accepts her almost immediately, while Sunny and her dad harbor suspicions. Who is this girl, and why would she pretend to be someone else? That mystery drives the story to an ending that has so many twists, it will leave you wondering what the truth really is.
This was a well written book with a really interesting perspective on family dynamics. The creepy, scary factor just adds depth to a very unique story.
