Watch Over Me might be the prettiest book I own. The dust jacket and inside cover is STUNNING. Even better is the story. It starts off a tad slow but its never boring. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. Our protagonist moves to a farm after aging out of the foster care system and immediately we find out there are ghosts on the property and no one seems to think its strange or frightening. Theyve just accepted there a ghosts and go on about life. Mila is there to teach the younger kids/ homeschool them and she becomes very close with her young male pupil. Theyve both come from bad childhoods which events are slowly revealed but still astonishingly depraved once you find out. The pacing is on point, the character building is so good that you immediately care for the characters and genuinely want them to have a happy ending. Definitely one of my favorite books of 2020 thus far.
