“Waiting on” Wednesday | Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

Breaking the Spine created this feature – “Waiting on” Wednesday, where bloggers could gush about their most coveted upcoming release. Here’s mine:

Juliet Young always writes letters to her mother, a world-traveling photojournalist. Even after her mother’s death, she leaves letters at her grave. It’s the only way Juliet can cope.

Declan Murphy isn’t the sort of guy you want to cross. In the midst of his court-ordered community service at the local cemetery, he’s trying to escape the demons of his past.

When Declan reads a haunting letter left beside a grave, he can’t resist writing back. Soon, he’s opening up to a perfect stranger, and their connection is immediate. But neither Declan nor Juliet knows that they’re not actually strangers. When life at school interferes with their secret life of letters, sparks will fly as Juliet and Declan discover truths that might tear them apart.

Publication date: April 4th

I read the prequel novella to Brigid Kemmerer’s Elemental series, loved it, but for some reason never returned to it, so she’s been on my radar for a while. But it was my buddy Birdie Bookworm who put Letters to the Lost on my radar. I just love the idea of reaching out and not expecting anything to come of it, but someone swoops in and is there for you. Adding a bit of romance to the story is just the icing on the cake. I’m so excited for this one!
