Book Review - Dead Girls Don't Write Letters

In a word.......creepy.

That's how I felt reading the book Dead Girls Don't Write Letters by Gail Giles. Sunny's older sister Jazz has been presumed dead in a fire when all of a sudden a letter from Jazz appears in the mail. Sunny is not entirely excited to find out her dear sister is alive and well. Everyone thought Jazz was talented, beautiful, sweet and smart, but Jazz also had a mean streak a mile long, something she made sure to hide from everyone except Sunny. So things definitely get weird when Jazz shows up at home. Jazz doesn't look quite right. But she acts like the old Jazz, knows intimate details about thir family, and has all her mannerisms. But Sunny quickly realizes she is NOT Jazz. Why would someone want to take over a dead girls life? Who is this girl pretending to be Jazz? Is she dangerous? I could not put this book down until I read the very last page. And here is a warning -- the ending leaves you asking more questions. A super fast, super creepy read.
