An intriguing world with fascinating characters! See more in a full review tomorrow.

A fitting end to a magical, fascinating series. This book maybe felt a tad too long, but it was still entertaining. And all the characters got the ending they deserved.

Maggie's just starting high school after being homeschooled her life. But there's one thing that's making her transition more difficult than most--she's being haunted by a ghost. As Maggie learns to navigate the strange world of public high school, she's also got to figure out how to help the ghost that's following her around. How can she do that and also make new friends?

The art compliments the story beautifully, bringing Maggie and her brothers to life. There's a lot here that teens will relate to, with a ghost twist that makes the story all the more interesting. Filled with emotion and new friendships, readers will learn to navigate the scary world of high school alongside Maggie.

What an interesting story. I haven't read much Stephen King, but this was an interesting one. An enjoyable, short read for the end of the year!

This wasn't what I was expecting, and also a lot different than a lot of YA that's being published right now. It focuses on the Aboriginal population in Australia, ghosts, and mysteries. It's about learning how to move on after a tragedy and the stories that often go unheard. A short read, but a powerful one!

I always enjoy these stories that let you get to see a different side of the villain. Albeit a rocky start, this one got pretty serious by the end. It adds a lot to the House of M storyline, too, in my opinion.

Trigger warnings for abuse, eating disorders, and self-harm.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for an early copy of this book to review! I was lucky enough to review A Danger to Herself and Others back when it came out, and I was super excited to review this book. And it didn't disappoint! It's a timely topic, done in a way that I haven't seen before.

This book is slightly difficult to summarize due to the way it's written. There are two main narrators, but you don't learn their names until halfway into the book. In the beginning, they're defined by titles, like "the activist," "the worrier," "the popular girl," etc. At first, it's a bit difficult to follow, but once you learn the voice of each of the characters, it's actually quite a clever way to tell this story. Since a lot of women are reduced to these titles when these kinds of stories are told in the news, it's great commentary on these issues.

Sheinmel's book speaks to the complexity surrounding these issues as well. How women in abuse situations are viewed and how we deal with them in a high school setting, especially. This subject isn't always breached in YA books, and I'm glad that she did. It needs to be talked about as well.

There are also good discussions about putting too much pressure on teens, mental health, and best ways to deal with these things. There's so much to like about this book; I'll definitely be recommending it when it comes out in February.

4.5/5 stars

Finished this morning, been processing it since then. A full review to come tomorrow!

After reading this, I think I might need to listen to the Bright Sessions podcast. Though, I don't really have time to add that to my list. My only issue with this was the pacing felt a bit off to me, especially by the end. It seemed to take so long for Adam and Caleb to get together, but then everything at the end felt rushed to me. Maybe it would be different if I listened to the podcast? There were still a lot of good discussions, and the characters were spot on. Since I read it basically in one day, I would say it's still entertaining!

Wow wow wow. This was an amazing ending to this trilogy. It was everything I needed to be, and there were also things I didn't see coming. Will definitely need a re-read at some point!

I laughed, I cried, what more could you want in a book! What I originally thought was just a rom-com ended up being so much more. Yoon tackles some difficult subjects in this book, and does so with grace. The voice feels authentic, and there's a ton of diverse representation in the book. Plus, this narrator was fantastic!
