This book wasn't what I expected it to be but it was cute in its own way and for a ghost story it felt surprisingly real.
Brynn is endearing, Skylar is heartbreaking and infuriating and they both come across as very believable. The dynamics between the characters were interesting and seemed organic, I often find that parent/teen relationships in books are strange or stilted but here it felt like these could actually be the dynamics of real humans.
This book isn't the whodunit that you might expect from the blurb, it's a story about confronting fears and assumptions, it's a story about big feelings that don't always make sense but are what they are (if you have ever dealt with anxiety you know what I mean). If you also didn't have a big coming out to your parents about your sexuality just some mildish form of awkwardness when they found out prepare to feel seen.
There's a few things that probably aren't going to age super well or that you might not like if internet culture references bother you (lots of talk about Tumblr and the expression Beyonce's internet per example).
Disclosure: I receive an eARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
