"Love Letters to the Dead" - Ava Dellaira

It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain, because just as her sister May he died young. But she can´t stop writing, and so lots of dead people get her letters. The ghosts of her past are slowly released. She must face up to them - before they consume her.

The book is entirely written in letters from Laurel. The reader becomes one with her - we see her thoughts, her flashbacks, her words, her doubts, her everything. She is showing us her world and I fell straight into it. Reading this book made think about life so often and is a great source for wonderful quotes. It also made me feel as if I was on the same level as Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and all the other people she wrote. Not to forget the person who meant the most to Laurel.
Ava Dellaira made me think, laugh and cry. This book is now one of my favourite books. You simply have to read it - it will change you.

Words aren´t good enough for a lot of things, but we have to try. (p.198)
