About This Book

Sometimes the best letters go unanswered. It begins as an assignment for English; 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 Jolip, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earheart, Amy Winehouse... It's like she can't stop.
