Didn’t Like It “Great start---bad ending! The ending to the novel simply does not work. It isn't a situation where I thought, "I didn't want the novel to end this way!" It was a situation where I thought, "Where were the editors?" Anyway, I would give Giles another chance and read another one of her...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Things had been getting a little better until I got a letter from my dead sister. That more or less ruined my day. When Sunny's older sister, Jazz, ran away to New York, Sunny was secretly relieved. Everyone loved Jazz, talked about Jazz, wished they were friends with Jazz. Jazz was perfect and Sunny was...well, not Jazz. Then Jazz's apartment building burns to the ground and she is presumed dead. Sunny's family, already broken by divorce, unravels. Dad's drinking skyrockets, and Mom's depression hits an all-time nonfunctioning low. Sunny is left to cope. Then they get a letter from Jazz saying she is coming home. But how? Jazz is dead, right?

0 of 1 members found this review helpful“I thought this book was only okay. In the beginning a girl named Sunny received a letter from her dead sister. Her sister Jasmine died in a building fire about 2 months ago. The letter said that she didnt die and it was all just a misunderstanding. She said she would be coming back to live with her family again soon. But, when (Jasmine) showed up at her house, it wasn't the real Jasmine. Sunny had known from the minute (not-Jazz) walked in that it wasn't her real sister. She kept trying to find out who and why this imposter was here pretending to be her sister. Towards the end she found out that this same girl was also pretending to be many other different identies as well. The ending was really mysterious, and left me confused. Who really was the not-Jazz? Who did die in the fire? I didn't really understand it. ”

“Quite the book of twists and turns. Gail Giles is a fantastic writing with an eerie understanding of the teenage mind. ”

It isn't a situation where I thought, "I didn't want the novel to end this way!" It was a situation where I thought, "Where were the editors?" Anyway, I would give Giles another chance and read another one of her novels--she is a great writer--but this novel just fell flat in the last chapter.”

“Very suspenseful story. Masterfully created the perfect combination of suspense and mystery. Personally I would almost label this book as horror. It is definite a quick and very interesting read. As my first book by Gail Giles I find her to be a very talented author and look forward to reader more from her in the future. Dead Girls Dont Write Letters is a story of a young girls struggle with the passing of her sister, that she was less than close too. Then one day she recieves a letter from her supposed dead sister. When Jazz returns home, Sunny immediately realizes that something is a little off about the new Jazz. She looks like Jazz, acts like Jazz, and knows everything about their family but something is still missing. ”
