Ok, so I lied. A review tonight after all. Dear Kurt Cobain, Mrs. Buster gave us our first assignment in English today, to write a letter to a dead person.

I finally picked up the book that everyone is raving about. And yes, it is good. Plot: This story is told through letters written to dead people. I love the way these letters reveal a small part Laurel life’s. She writes to each person differently, capturing the reader with great imagination. The ...
