Letters To The Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

Declan is doing community service mowing the cemetery lawn after being drunk and driving into a building luckily, no one was hurt.

Juliet lost her war zone photographer mum some months ago, but writing notes to her and leaving them at the cemetery is the only way she's coping.

When Declan writes back to one of her notes left at her mums grave, it sparks off a conversation between the two unlikely to connect face to face (due to reputations).
Through the endless back and forth of the notes they realise each other has a front up, a facade to show the world one side of them whilst really there's more to both characters that each discovers after events in which they end up face to face.
By confiding in each other their darkest secrets online and by notes, makes them realise just how much they kept to themselves and how brave each of them are.

I have to say the book deals so well with the way death can affect us and impact our lives. This book is for anyone who has ever felt like they have no one when they have everyone around them.
