"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I know you’re not dead yet and don’t understand me wrong, I’m really glad about that but after reading this book I decited trying to write a letter too. Not exactly in the way Laurel did, but as an letter to thank someone who seems to understand things. I have to admit that my favourite book of all time was ‘the perks of being a wallflower’ , but after reading ‘love letters to the dead’ they are both now my favourites. Normally I don’t write any letters or something to authors but the reason why I write you is that although Laurel and I doesn’t have really much in common, besides we’re both the same age, she thinks about things that I’m not even know I’m thinking about. I mean we’re in complete different points in life right now but at the same time we’re just like soulmates who known each other since we were kids. I think to create a person who is able to make this feelings to others, is the most beautiful and creative thing in the whole world. Thank you therefore! Actually I bought this book beacause I read that a girl has to write a letter to a dead person and chooses Kurt Cobain. This reminded me of myself because we were supposed to write to a famous person in french class and I chose Kurt Cobain too, so I think Laurel and I had maybe more things in common that I’ve thought of. (Actually my letter was just boring and way more like a homework but i have to say , I’m really not into french). Reading this book, and I know how trite this sounds but as a writer yourself you probably understand, was a big gift. Not only that I’ve tried to improve my english skills but also that I’m probably not that scared of growing up anymore. And I think it’s really weird that when you’ve grown up you can better describe what it is like to be a teenager because you’ll have the words that were just feelings then. Thank you for writing this wonderful book and making it able to let the world look into Laurels perfect unperfect life. Have a nice day and please never stop writing!
