Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartnett
3.5
emotional funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I found this book charming and quirky. The setting of a small New England town with all the ghosts in the cemetery watching everyone was told in a very clever way. However, I wanted more development of the main character, Emma and I found the middle half of the novel to be meandering. 

I am glad I read this but I do feel it had unexplored potential. I do think I will pick up what this author publishes next.
