"Sometimes the best letters go unanswered"

Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira

Short synopsis from the book:

It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain - he died young and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand what Laurel is going through.

Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart, Amy Winehouse... It's like she can't stop. She writes about her new high school, her new friends, her first love - and her shattered life.

But the ghosts of Laurel's past can't be contained between the lines of a page forever. She must face them - before they consume her.

In Short:

Cerita ni mengisahkan tentang seorang gadis bernama Laurel, baru masuk high school. Bermula dengan assignment, Laurel obsess untuk tulis surat kepada orang yang dah mati. Kira macam luahan hati dia. Dia cuba cari kisah silam orang yang dia tulis surat tu and relate dengan hidup dia. Maybe tu cara dia bersedih dengan kematian kakak dia, May. Pada malam kejadian, something happened between dia and Billy, kawan boyfriend May, Paul. Laurel has been molested and kematian kakak dia somehow menjadi punca Laurel tak dapat menerima apa yang dah berlaku.

Overall, best cerita ni. hehe
  3.5 stars over 5
Sad? Yes.

A bit complicated for me sebab tak berapa nak faham flow cerita dia dalam bentuk surat. 
Tapi kalau korang ni memang jenis budak literature/writing, okay kot 😅😅
