Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

What a sweet horror story with just the coolest spooky small town vibes.
 My favorite parts of this book are the dynamics with the friends and the quest they end up on. 
The main issue I have is that after the 4000th mention of the Nothing I started to just lose interest. It took me longer to get through the book than it should have. I love an exploration of what happens after we die but I just think the anxiety of the main character became too repetitive. 
Overall pretty cute though. Very sweet ending.
