This is the sort of book I would have adored when I was a teenager and read over and over again. LLttD is a really solid example of the epistolary format, it doesn't feel forced and while there are a fair amount of books with the letter to a dead person hook, this one is fresh because the voice is so strong. Also, the Albuquerque setting was extremely well-done and it made me miss New Mexico and all its weirdness.
