Sometimes the best letters are the ones that go unanswered It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person - any dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain - he died young, and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand a bit of what Laurel is going through. Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart... it's like she can't stop. And she'd certainly never dream of handing them in to her teacher. She writes about what it's like going to a new high school, meeting new friends, falling in love for the first time - and how her family has shattered since May died. But much as Laurel might find writing the letters cathartic, she can't keep real life out forever. The ghosts of her past won't be contained between the lines of a page, and she will have to come to terms with growing up, the agony of losing a beloved sister, and the realisation that only you can shape your destiny. A lyrical, haunting and stunning debut from the protege of Stephen Chbosky (THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER).

United by the most common of items-underwear-this offbeat collection of thirteen short stories celebrates the connection shared by all individuals and the universal struggle to make sense of human nature, however quirky it may be. In the title story, Darla wants a boyfriend, and her entire life revolves around getting one boy to notice her. "Change" tells of how a conversation with an elderly family member on Halloween night subtly alters the course of a young woman's life. All seventeen-year-old Jay wants is some peace and quiet, and he gets it when he is accidentally locked in a storage room all night in "The Storage Room." In "Jamie and Amy," a young man is dying to ask an older girl for a date but is mortified by the way their names sound together. "8 Girls Are In Love With Me" and "8 Boys Are In Love With Me" tell the surprising tale of a scheduling mix-up at a summer camp that leads two counselors to teach swimming lessons to a group of difficult kids, and in "Faking It," Juliet doesn't expect to make any friends during her European vacation, but that's before a hot Australian guy introduces himself to her. Both the serious and trivial sides of the human psyche merge in the sometimes somber, oftentimes hilarious, but always thought-provoking collection of stories in "Matching Panties."
