Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
1.0
“I think a lot of people want to be someone, but we are scared that if we try, we won't be as good as everyone imagines we could be.”
Oh, Mother Mary of Christ! This book was absolutely dreadful. The writing was too slow paced for a Contemporary, the characters were flat and dry and the blurb by Stephen Chbosky was completely biased.
Would I recommend this book to anyone? Fuck, no. You'd be better off reading something else because it literally felt like the author had no idea who her characters were until after 80 pages. She also wrote about a very stereotypical lesbian relationship/friendship, which offended me so much.
But the sad thing about my review is that I so badly wanted to love it. I can be critical about any book, but this book for me had so much potential and I was so disappointed when it became the Titanic, hit the iceberg, split in half and sank to the bottom of the ocean.
“I know I wrote letters to people with no address on this earth, I know that you are dead. But I hear you. I hear all of you. We were here. Our lives matter.”
