My Review
Dear Future Me unfolds in 2023, with flashbacks to events from 2003. It’s the school-trip-gone-wrong trope, but with a really interesting angle delivered (literally!) in the form of letters written by the characters as teens, which are then received by them 20 years later.
See, these letters to their future selves don’t just contain their dreams and ambitions. They actually expose the truth about the tragic death of one of their classmates. After receiving her letter, Miranda promptly leaves home and jumps off a cliff.
Her best friend Audrey can’t believe Miranda would do such a thing and is desperate to get to the bottom of her friend’s letter, some pages of which are missing. And also to figure out the meaning of the strange note that was left in her own letter.
This was an interesting mystery, with lots of great characters and I especially loved the letters aspect of this, though I’m now wondering what happened to all those time capsules we made at school!
Thank you to Compulsive Readers and Bonnier Books for the gifted copy and including me on the tour.
