Friends With Boys by Faith Erin Hicks
3.0

I assumed this was some kind of high school romantic comedy, but it's more like a ghost story?? HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS WAS A GHOST STORY? I would have read this way sooner if I'd known it was a ghost story.

Now that I think about it... why was it a ghost story?? Like,
Spoilerat first I assumed it was something to do with her missing mom, but then it seemed like all of her brothers also saw the ghost, just like, cuz?? I really liked the ghost story as it was happening, but now that I'm thinking about it... whaaat?


I know this was originally a webcomic. Is this ALL of the webcomic? It almost seemed like the end of this book was the point where it got really interesting to me. IDK.

It was a fun high school/family ghost story! Would recommend to teen fans of, oh, maybe like the Ghost and the Goth books or Dead is the New Black? But it's not exactly a mystery... or it kind of is? Uh... IDK. The art was really cute and I think Maggie was a cool protagonist. And I liked the ghost.
