That's what my friend always telling. The Deathday Letter is about a 15 year old boy named Ollie whos' only interest are girls and sex. But one day, he recieves a letter in the mail telling him that he only has 24 hours to live.

Ollie tries to convince the love of his life to take him back after the break-up. Thats all he wants before he dies, one last love.This book is amazing! When I began to read it, I was already hooked in the beginning! I love how Shaun David formats the chapters as the time Ollie has left to live. The plot is so breathtaking and adequete. However, some details were a little too provactive for my taste and the Shaun's writing pays attention to the protagonist's actions instead of setting, which I find very interesting. I also think that the ending was horrible. Shaun shouldn't have ended the book this way! He left me hanging!Overall, if I would've rated this book on a scale between 1-10, I would've given it a 9.5 because of it's plot, originality, sense of style and writing skills.
What do You think about The Deathday Letter (2010)?
It kept me wanting to read more. But then when I got to the end it made me a little disappointed.
