It begins as an assignment for English class: Write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain because her sister, May, loved him. And he died young, just like May did. Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to people like Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger, and more -- though she never gives a single one of them to her teacher. She writes about starting high school, navigating new friendships, falling in love for the first time, learning to live with her splintering family. And, finally, about the abuse she suffered while May was supposed to be looking out for her. Only then, once Laurel has written down the truth about what happened to herself, can she truly begin to accept what happened to May. And only when Laurel has begun to see her sister as the person she was -- lovely and amazing and deeply flawed -- can she begin to discover her own path in this stunning debut from Ava Dellaira, Love Letters to the Dead.

Are you a Good Girl?
Do you...
-Allow your parents to micromanage your life so you'll get into the "right" college (aka Dad's alma mater)?
-Sign up for a gazillion after-school activities to be more "well rounded" (though at this point, you're so round, you may roll away!)
-Hang out with fashion-obsessed Populars--who don't accept anyone who doesn't embrace the color pink?
-Date rich, obnoxious jocks like Brent Baker III--who are so cheesy you can't stomach them without crackers?
Or a Bad Girl?
Do you...
-Meet new cool people--like the headmaster's punk-rock daughter Starr?
-Pierce random body parts (ok, just your belly button--but still!) and hope your parents don't notice?
-Date an uber-hot sk8er boy from the wrong side of town--though your parents say "No way!"?
-Fall in love with the sk8er--in a tragic Romeo and Juliet (with text messaging) kind of way?
