egyszerű, mint a faék, de végülis egész szórakoztató volt, csak tipikusan olyan sztori, amit már ezerszer megírtak, talán jobban is, mint ezt. viszont a címe szerintem tök frankó.
Disclaimer: I'm usually not a big fan of stories with paranormal elements, but I found the premise of this book intriguing.
Like other readers / reviewers, it took me a while to warm up to Nicole. Dale, on the other hand, was so easy to like. I did enjoy getting to know these two and discover the real people behind the respective facades they put up for the rest of the world.
While Nicole and Dale both have gone through tragic and truly heartbreaking experiences and still have plenty of baggage to work through, there were enough lighthearted moments (Nicole coming to terms with her ghostly existence, for instance), fun and snarky banter, and - though sometimes quite dark - humor that made me smile way more often than I would have expected.
On top of that, there was the mystery to unravel of what really happened to Nicole (now THAT took some turns I didn't see coming!), plus the budding romance that provided some sweet (and sometimes funny) moments.
Unfortunately, I really didn't enjoy this book. It had a lot of potential, but it failed in execution. I wasn't expecting the Christian overtones in the book, and I think that really just turned me off.
