A review by elboe
Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LaFleur

4.0

I really enjoyed this story. Funny thing to say about something that makes you cry out of sadness. I thought this book explored the themes of grief and recovery wonderfully. Aubrey gave such an insightful and innocent look into how she struggled with grief and missing her family.

Spoiler

I appreciated how her mother wasn’t just ‘fixed’ immediately and that they both needed time to heal separately before they could heal together. Additionally, Aubrey's final decision felt important and like her own. Not something that anyone made her feel and a decision that she came to on her own. It also felt true to the character; like she had grown into the realisation over the course of the book.

The simplistic writing style made the inner dialogue much more believable. Choosing letters as a way to express her feelings worked very well in my opinion.
