Letters to the Lost

 Book by Brigid Kemmerer.

This was a compelling, don’t want to put it down, kind of book for me. It was not an easy read, as it deals with a lot of heavy issues (grief, abuse, etc), but it was worthwhile, illustrating important themes: the way we inaccurately view other people and situations, the importance of the way we talk to and about others, loyalty in family and friendship, using agency well, etc.

Note: a few profanities, a passing question asking if a boy had sent her nude pictures of himself. Overall surprisingly clean for a YA contemporary novel. Recommended for high schoolers
