This book took me by surprise. I didn't know what this was about going into it and I was pleasantly surprised by how the author wrote the characters. There was so much representation in this, different characters who all have different neurodivergent characteristics. Autism,  ADHD, ADD, anxiety, depression, disabilities, physical or otherwise. I found the ending extremely wordy
when they were fighting the ghost eater
. But at the same time, the main character wasn't much of a talker either.  They communicated a lot with text messages or writing things down and no one gave them crap for it. I think it had to be wordy because the character themselves did not really speak. 

I give this 4.25 stars just because I felt like the ending was too rushed. Half the time I didn't really realize what was happening.
How do you fight a ghost that is taking over humans? How do you take the life force of a ghost that makes it fade faster?
Maybe I don't know that much about ghosts after all, or this is just someone's take on ghosts and how they respond to their environment and live through time. But overall I did enjoy it! I love that this wasn't your typical "ghost story" but rather how to get along with them and live among them.
