This book feels very old school YA, mostly in the negative ways. It's mostly okay, there was a point that annoyed me enough that I almost quit the book (chapter 10 anyone) and then I remember that I choose to watch 'A Haunting'

So I should probably just let this stupidity go and I was only reading to fulfil my trashy need for terrible ghost stories, whether people to claim their real or not. My main problem, was that it very passive of the main character and done to quickly move on the plot without thinking about the meaning or the why. I mean if this had been A Haunting episode then a demon would have suddenly appeared and that would be more entertaining. Do you know how hard it is to find someone to bless your house? Neither do I, but a day is just so quick.

This is almost 400 pages and the plot is slow and steady and then at hyper-spreed twice in the book. The certain of this book is the characters but they're as great as their poems. As in I really believe that 16 years old wrote them and only they would like them. I'm not really a poem person, that interest died once I left the teen years.

Erin is "not like other girls" so that's great. In her deference, she does not describe herself as that, but it's still a line in the book. It could be read that the other love interest Olly is just a dimwit who never dated anyone for personality before. The book is told from three POVs Erin the Sad Girl, Joe the Ghost and Olly the Alive Brother.I never felt deeply for anyone or anything. At least the cliché mean girl Zoe at least has motivation of some kind.

There is 26 chapters in this book. The POV changes within the chapters and the chapters just seem to end really randomly. Like the chapter will end but we're in the same scene and nothing dramatic will have happen to justify the chapter end.

Proper review
