I think I am in love with a book!
reading this was a amazing time.

it isn't the typical young adult book you would read, there is no real focus on romance (there it a little bit) I will not say much but I enjoyed it there was a lot of mystery in the book, I enjoyed that and even when I kinda had the ending right I fought it was done perfectly

Go into this book knowing nothing if you can. Stop reading this review right now (especially because I spoil the ending!) and go read this book.

It is a VERY interesting, engrossing and twisty mystery if you get through the first 70 pages. I enjoyed this book thoroughly as the kind of book that sucks you in for a day and you're living with the characters. Joe and Ariel are wonderfully curious about their predicament and I liked how quickly everything progressed and how well plotted it was. Props to this book's editor. Basically everything on the page was great and there for a reason.

My one, tiny, very spoilery caveat with this book is that I leave it feeling quite sad for Ariel. She has found out her dad is *MASSIVE SPOILER* Joe's murderer, and then Mia approaches her at the end of the book, but that's likely her dad's other murder victim...
It felt like at the end we are meant to read it as Ariel's life is going great, now she's known to ghosts as the ghost detective (what a great way to spin this off if the author chooses to do so, instead of humans rights lawyer she can be a ghost rights lawyer), but Mia is clearly the first murder her dad committed that day. So I leave the book feeling sad for Ariel: she is going to find out her dad murdered yet another person (albeit by accident, he states). Will she wonder if he's a serial killer based on the fact that there's now two people he's killed? Mia definitely deserves justice, it's simply sad that it's implied that Ariel will be the one to solve it. It's just...unfortunate that I had this reaction to the ending of this poignant, engrossing book. Perhaps the follow up of Mia and Ariel, if the author chooses to write it, would be just as interesting! It would certainly have further growth, trauma and stakes for Ariel, but I cannot help but feel a further sadness for Ariel when I was hoping for resolution at the end of this book.

You know it's really summer vacation when i'm back to reading an entire book a day <3

Very slow start, as it progressed I actually ended up loving it.

not me thinking this would be a romance story, for it to be a murder mystery (including love / friendship).

this book is something else. it took me some time to get into it as i had no clue it would turn out to be this kind of story. but once i understood it all i couldn't stop reading.

This book is...something.
THIS BOOK ISN'T A ROMANCE. I was fooled

Honestly, this book was a goddamn roller-coaster. Like, the amount of mixed emotions that this novel gave me was insane.

Meet Ariel, she's a standard girl with a ton of family issues and she her life is a hot mess. I applauded her because she's been through so much but she's still moving about, she's good.

Meet Joe. Oh God, Joe. I'm not gonna spoil the book but he's honestly a very mid character. He for real had me bored out my mind for like 30% of the book. I GOT SO SICK OF THIS MAN.

The book was slow at first but interesting and the book was really boring and I only had a lot more interest towards the end. I was so tired of reading it and in comparison to the book I'm reading now where I can actually say "it's a page turner, I don't wanna stop" , this book was a disappointment. I WAS BORED

The ending was good but the final conclusion was upsetting...

If you get this book, good luck.

Meh...It was okay. Falls more under the crime/mystery genre than romance. Overall, an easy, quick read.

Well that was sad
