Letters to Nowhere by Julie Cross
4.0
Writing down her thoughts, Karen feels as if there is still a connection to her parents, even though they have passed away. As an elite gymnast it is a pivotal point in her life where she needs to decide who to stay with while still a minor, her gymnastic coach offers to give her a home forcing Karen to choose between her grandmother and coach.
She hadn't planned on Jordan though, the coaches son. Jordan is friendly, slightly bad boy from what she can figure out, and obviously doesn't have a close relationship with his father. As their new roommate status turns to friends and then to something more precious, Karen finds an unlikely alias in dealing with the aftermath of her parents death. The pressure is building and everything in Karen's life is shifting, with Karen willing to take the leap she might find amazing things can happen.
I thought the letters she wrote were beautiful, I shed a few tears while she is holding a one sided conversation with her parents. Profound story and I appreciated that Karen had to learn to deal with her grief and it was not just swept under the rug. Excellent story.
