This was amazing! I'm very late to the game and I wasn't so sure how I would like it since I find myself drifting away from YA, but the prose was beautiful and though there isn't a big plot, the story grabs you and it's hard to put the book down. Did not expect this to be so chilling. The repetition, though intentional, did get a little tiring toward the end but that didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of this book.

It also helps that I enjoy ghost stories like The Sixth Sense, which E. Lockhart mentions as an inspiration for this book

Das Ende war irgendwie vorhersehbar, aber das Buch war trotzdem so unfassbar schön. Ich würde es am liebsten noch 100 mal zum ersten Mal lesen.
