I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Another case of mismarketing here--this is less ghost story than a coming-of-age novel/family drama with elements of magical realism--but it sets up Jericka to go on an introspective journey to figure out what love and acceptance means to her. I wish it were spookier and that Ciera Burch had gone into the history of the town even more, but, again, mismarketing.
