Love Letters to the Dead

The book I am reading right now is called Love Letters To The Dead. Other books she has written is Love Letters To The Dead chapters 1-5 it was a preview before the whole book came out and she is going to write a new book called In Search Of Us in 2018. This book is about a girl named Laurel and she had a sister named May who died at a young age, Laurel had an English assignment to write a letter to a dead person.

What the story is about is Laurel having to do an English assignment to write to the dead. Her teacher knows that something happened to her sister May, making her write an assignment to the dead. She wrote many letters to the dead relating to them with her life but never turned in an assignment for English. While her friends Hannah and Natalie were there with her ever since they met her and go through everything together. For example Laurel was seeing this, “ We walked half shivering down the liquor aisle, and Natalie pulled a bottle of cinnamon After Shock off the shelf and into her halfway on hoodie. Then we took it to the bathroom and peeled off the label so it wouldn’t beep. I ignored my quick beating heart and tried to act normal, like I’d done this sort of thing before” (Dellaira 34).

I liked the book because it has a great story line for example I like how everything she does either relates about her sister or about the people from the dead. The book was written for younger siblings when their older sibling is gone and not with them anymore they miss their presence. I don’t think all people would like this book because it depends on what types of books they’re interested in. This book is really good if you’re into realistic fiction. You can even relate to the story because there are a lot of different things happening in the story. I hope you choose to read this book because it’s one of my favorite books that I’ve read.
