I honestly do not even know where to begin with this. Can I just say it was bloody brilliant and move on? Okay, okay... I guess I can say some more things about why I loved it.

Well, first of all... I have read a few things from Gemma Amor and the way she writes about loss and grieving is unlike anyone else. She can take those emotions and build any story around them I think. In this story, Laura loses her friend Bobby when they are young to a man i a van in the woods. And she never forgot it. She starts receiving letters in the mail On her birthday from a stranger claiming to know what happened and where Bobby is. But this is a game of quid pro quo - the stranger wants things in return before any information can be divulged with each letter.

Did anyone ever read the book Sophie's World? it's about a girl who comes home one day and finds a letter in her mailbox asking a couple of questions... and then we begin following her as she is in this snail mail correspondence course/letter exchange with someone who is filling her head with some of the minds of the greatest philosophers who ever existed. Okay.. so Dear Laura is like that... only with blood, terror, anxiety, panic, and fear. Sounds awesome?! YES BECAUSE IT IS!

This is a fast read but your head will be racing the whole time. Amor really knocks it out of the park with Dear Laura - 5 stars!!
