Charlotte has worked for this all summer. The first day of school. This year is going to be different, this year she is going to be noticed, this year she is going to get the most popular boy in school. She gets really close too, well she had the whole lab partner thing going for her, until she choked to death on that soft red gummy bear.
She doesn’t show up at the pearly gates instead she’s still stuck in high school only this time it’s high school for the dead. Now her crush really doesn’t know she’s alive, but Charlotte doesn’t let that damper her determination. She just realizes she’ll need to be a little more creative to reach her goal.
Ghostgirl definitely wasn’t what I expected, but it was still really fun to read. Poor Charlotte, the girl can’t seem to catch a break! The plot was unpredictable although I thought the ending could have been a little stronger, no one lets go of a grudge of that proportions just like that. I would try to explain more, but I don’t want to give anything away. The characters were fun. You have your stereotypical popular rich bitch girl, the stupid jock, the goth girl and the dead girl. If there can be something considered a stereotypical dead girl! Hurley’s writing style is easy to fall into and I finished the book in no time! The cover for the books is exceptional! It is a die-cut cover and the color scheme is pink and black. very cool. I loved the quotes and illustrations introducing every chapter and the page borders were a nice touch as well. I know that has nothing to do with the story itself, but I like creative additions like that!

I got all excited when I saw Parker Posey is the narrator here. But either she isn't a very good reader, or her voice just didn't fit the character. It didn't help that it's in third person. Bleh.

Ghostgirl is an intriguing story. I could tell from just looking at the book that it was going to be interesting but I had no idea how interesting until I read it.
Charlotte Usher knows this year is going to be different. After a huge summer makeover she is determined to be noticed. At first, things seem to be working. Then she dies. Literally. Now she will never be popular and get to go to the dance with Damen Dylan. Not only is she stuck here but she has to graduate from Dead Ed. It doesn't seem like things will ever go her way but then she realizes someone can see her. Will she be able to fulfill what she believes to be her destiny or will she be stuck on earth forever?
Charlotte was pretty depressing. She died without really living and then she couldn't give up her life. She couldn't accept that she was dead and she caused a lot of problems with the other dead kids because of it. I actually thought she was selfish and immature most of the book. I felt she needed to stop feeling sorry for herself and try to move on.
The plot of the book dragged for a while but it got much better towards the end. There seemed to be a lot of build up and not enough action. Now that all the characters have been introduced I feel like the next book will pick up faster.
Overall, Ghostgirl is a pretty good book and makes me very interested in the series. It's not your typical ghost story and I'm excited to see where it goes next.

Great read for teenage me, but apparently not so good for adult me. Got a bit pickier about the wording of my books. This book definitely has an age limit.

A ver… es niñateo, no está bien escrito, entiendo que esto no está escrito para ser una joya de la literatura, peeeeero está lleno de clichés y puf, a veces se hace cansado de leer
Y por cierto, TRIGGER WARNING de TCAs y s3lfh4rm

I hate giving up on a book but I just couldn't go any further on this one. I made it about halfway thru and finally quit. The story just seemed to be going nowhere.
