I'd say 2.5 stars because I was severely disappointed with by Love Letters to the Dead. 
 I pretty much read it to be over and start another book. I really wanted to like it. I usually like teen contemporary romance, so this is not the problem. 
 Maybe I am becoming more picky, because I read my fair share of the genre, but what I know is that this book did not make me feel at all. Or just "meh" all along. 
 I did not feel the characters to be really fleshed out or having any kind of personality except the one of the "cool (because liking old stuff) but angsty teenage kids who takes drugs and are so deep inside" 
 I know it sounds harsh but to me it's the ultimate YA cliche, with insta love, and I can, and have, loved cliche stories when they are well done but it was not the case here. 
 These days, with popular books in the online YA reading crowd, it's often a hit or miss for me - Love Letters to the Dead was a big miss...
