Review: Letters to the Lost

Title Letters to the Lost
By Brigid Kemmerer
Genre YA Contemporary
Format Ebook
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Synopsis
Juliet is reeling after the death of her mother, a world traveling photojournalist. To cope she writes her mother letters and leaves them on her gravestone. Then one day, someone writes her back. And thus begins a relationship between two broken people. If they can confide in each other then they might finally begin to heal.

First Sentence
There's this photograph I can't get out of my mind.




When I read the synopsis to this one I just knew I had to read it. It sounded like a tearjerker and we all need those once in a while, right?

I had no idea how how sad it was going to be, though. The hits just kept coming! I seriously don't know how these character's didn't just end it all. I don't think I could have went what they went through. The were so amazing and I was rooting for them in tears the whole time.

Totally character driven, this story was beautiful and sad and hopeful and I really loved it! I don't know what else to say. Go out and read it!

    Sounds like an intriguing read! I'll have to pick it up when I can handle a really sad book—maybe sandwiched between two fluffier ones??

    Love the premise, and that cover! I'm just not sure I can do something this sad right now, not after the summer I've had. But I'll add it to my Goodreads list so I don't forget about it and can hopefully read it later. :)

    Yes! It was very important to me that you liked this book, because I liked this book very, very much. Definitely super emotional, but really beautiful too.

    This has been on my TBR for a while. I didn't know it was a sad book though.

    That blurb has certainly held my attention. I'm curious how this story will end. Will have to add it to my wishlist.

    Sounds like an intensely emotional book. I'm definitely going to add it to Goodreads.
