Summary:
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. Soon, Laurel has a notebook full of letters to the dead-to people like Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, Amelia Earhart, and Amy Winehouse-though she never gives a single one of them to her teacher. She writes about starting high school, navigating the choppy waters of new friendships, learning to live with her splintering family, falling in love for the first time, and, most important, trying to grieve for May. But how do you mourn for someone you havent forgiven? Its not until Laurel has written the truth about what happened to herself that she can finally 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 truly start to discover her own path.
Todo comienza con un trabajo para la clase de Literatura: escribir una carta a una persona muerta. Laurel decide escribirle a Kurt Cobain, quien muri o joven como May, su hermana. Luego de la primera carta, ya no puede detenerse, y escribir a otras a Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison y Heath Ledger, entre otros personajes famosos. Sin embargo, no le entrega ninguna a su profesora.La tarea permanece oculta... como tantas cosas de su vida. Laurel escribe sobre lo que le pasa: c omo se siente empezar en otra escuela, lo dif icil que es forjar nuevas amistades, c omo es el primer amor o vivir con padres separados y, lo m as importante, escribe sobre la muerte de May. De esta manera, comienza a relacionar las cosas que comparti o con su hermana y sus experiencias personales, con las vidas y muertes de estos iconos. Cuando escriba la verdad sobre lo que le ocurri o, podr a aceptar la muerte de May y solo as i lograr a verla y recordarla como la persona que siempre fue: adorable, asombrosa e... imperfecta. Crecer es doloroso. Muchas veces hay un mundo secreto que tarde o temprano hay que enfrentar. Y se enfrenta mejor con la verdad y con ayuda. Un libro para leer con el alma, para compartir con quienes de verdad amamos y queremos cuidar.
