I adore Nina LaCour's beautiful, haunted writing -- and especially after watching the Watch Over Me virtual launch event with her and Brandy Colbert, I'm also a huge fan of the author herself! So I absolutely jumped at the chance to read her newest book early.

This book still had the beautiful lyricism, pain, grief, complexity, and character growth that I loved from Everything Leads to You and We Are Okay, but this time it also has GHOSTS! I absolutely love the way Nina incorporated them into this story. This setting was wonderfully atmospheric and I was shocked to hear (at the launch event) that she didn't grow up in that setting. Clearly, her research trips paid off!

As with her other books, this story is more character-driven than plot driven, with suspense elements that make it easy to binge the book in one sitting (which I absolutely did). I loved this book. Thank you to Penguin Teen and Bookish First for a free hardcover copy of the book in exchange for an honest review! All opinions are my own.
