Sometimes the best letters go unanswered
It begins as an assignment for English class:
write a letter to a dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain- he died young, and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand what Laurel is going through.
Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart, Amy Winehouse... It's like she can't stop. She writes about her new high school, her new friends, her first love and her shattered life.
But the ghosts of Laurel's past can't be contained between the lines of a page forever. She must face up to them - before they consume her.
