Hm, I'm not too sure how I feel about this book. Was it good? Was it bad? If was fine, I suppose. I remember feeling a bit lost at times when the author was describing something other-wordly, or an action scene that lost me. But it wasn't bad, I'm always a fan of ghosts and spirits, possession stories can be a bit spooky sometimes, and this one was spooky. The characters were fine too, I suppose.

*Great big shrug*

Spoiler

But for my review being so milquetoast, this book certainly covers a lot of issues. Like, I hope it wasn't written with a checklist since it does deal with racism, school shootings, homophobia, "funny uncles", sexual abuse, abusive parents, bullying, gay characters coming out. A lot of stuff.

And yet when I finished the book I didn't feel like I'd been taken for a whirlwind, I didn't find myself concerned for the safety and future of the characters, I just read the book and now I'm moving on to the next.
