Review also posted at The Wandering Fangirl.

In A Certain Slant of Light we follow Helen, a ghost who cleaves to an unwitting person and haunts them. Nicely, of course. Helen just wants to stay close to her humans, reading over their shoulders and experiencing their lives. Until she meets a boy who can actually see her, and she's propelled into a whirlwind romance with the only other person she's met like her. This novel is...interesting. On one hand, it's a very well written (Helen's narrative is so polite at times), moody, engrossing book. On the other, you get about half way through and it starts to veer off into unexpected places, and none of them all that good, in my experience. I did enjoy the idea of it, the execution of most of it, and if it weren't for the fact that things just got worse and worse (and worse) in the most melodramatic way before the end, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
