Are ghosts real? And if so, how do you prove their existence?
Veronica & Sawyer have much in common. He is a jock, sports star who runs with a circle of friends that has labeled Veronica as weird. Veronica is an eccentric, loner type with a small circle of friends who aren't exactly popular either.

This YA novel delves into the paranormal, but more than that, it's about two teens that experienced trauma in their childhood. It's about dysfuctional and unhealthy behaviors in families that are hidden from view and thus help. It's about how grief and loss can alter how we see reality. It's about changing your opinions about other people and learning that you can change too.

This teen drama explores much meatier issues than just the surface stereotypical teen cliches of different cliques at school.

Trigger warnings: death of a parent, alcoholism, addiction, loss and cancer.
