Letters to the Lost
by Brigid Kemmerer
I absolutely loved Letters to the Lost; so much so that I read it in one sitting.
The book focuses on two characters - Juliet whose mother died several months before the story begins, she writes her mother letters, leaving them at her grave, as she had done several times a week whilst her mother worked as a photographer in war torn countries. Declan is the local bad boy, currently serving community service as a groundsman in the cemetery where Juliet's mother is buried. Stumbling upon a letter left by Juliet at her mothers grave, Declan finds the words striking home and writes two words on it in answer to Juliet's questions...two words that will have a lasting affect on the pair who begin to communicate and open up to each other as they never have to anyone else before.
The story flowed fantastically, I loved both Juliet and Declan, as well as the side characters - especially Rev, who I can't wait to read more about in More Than We Can Tell which I am about to start.
Highly recommend this fantastic YA contemporary.
