3.5 - Throughout most of this book, I thought the story was nice although not unpredictable, and based on teenage angst that could have been dealt with easier/quicker if they'd just talked.

The last few chapters though, were great. Sooo many emotions.
We finally got to see more in depth the relationships between the guys and their families. That's what I loved the most.
Especially Nate's relationships with all the women in his family other than his mother. How his aunt is his real mother, how his sister still looks out for him and how his grandma's ghost is his rock. All three tugged on mw heart strings but I still felt like we could have gotten MORE.

Actually, the ghosts element was interesting, but could have been developed in so much more depth.
It was pitched as an essential part of the story but I didn't feel like it took that much space or importance...
(Yes, I still cried about them in the end, shhh).

Basically? The romance was nice but a little too teenage-angsty for a too large amount. The rest (family relationships and ghosts) could have been incredible if developed a little more.
