Trade ReviewLOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD is more than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice. * Stephen Chbosky, author of THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER *

It was a perfect romance, portraying all of the lovely things along with the difficult things that can be an obstacle in a relationship * Becca's Bookmark *
From the romance between Marilyn and James, to the dark twist, this book crossed genres and styles. It felt literary in parts, typically contemporary YA in others, but one thing is for sure: this is a thought-provoking and heart-shattering read pumped full of emotion. It stole all of my sympathy * Read By Jess *
In Search of Us was just a beautifully written story, I couldn't praise Dellaira enough in giving us such a wonderful story. The overlap in stories from Marilyn and Angie was done majestically, with Dellaira constantly keeping us on our toes with us not knowing what could be around the corner. In Search of Us was really a gem of a read, one that I will be constantly thinking and talking about in the upcoming weeks * The Readers' Den *
The ending made me shed a few tears * Booked By Bliss *
The writing is beautiful and atmospheric and it's been so hard to put down * Julia's Bookcase *

I would really recommend this book to you if you're looking for a contemporary that focuses on learning more about yourself, about your meaning in this world, on family and love and loss * The Cursed Books *
