Black Water Sister by Zen Cho

I love Zen Cho’s range even if it sometimes mean I have no idea what I’m getting myself into. 
This book was really fun and the sense of fun comes predominantly from the narrator’s personality and wry realness in having to deal with the spirit world. Everything about her is incredibly relatable and so deeply realized and Cho has the ability to invite readers into her world, regardless of where they stand. I tend to prefer secondary worlds to this one, but really enjoyed this one.
