I'm fairly certain this is the first book I've read by this author, and it was any indication of the quality of the rest of her work, I can't wait to start reading more of it. The story was beautifully told, the setting was so vividly written I could see it in my head as I read, and I was really invested in the characters even when I didn't necessarily like all of them all that well. I loved the subtle paranormal aspect of the story and was genuinely surprised when the ending was revealed. This was one of the more memorable reads I've picked up so far this year and I definitely recommend it!

After the death of her twin brother, James goes back to her small hometown to find answers. While she is there she discovers she might not know her brother as well as she thought she did. 

This book had a touch of magical realism with how James was connected to her brother. I enjoyed these elements as well as the mystery of finding the truth. This takes place in a small town and shows the dynamics of how small town life can be. 

During this book James is not only looking for answers around her brother's death but also finding out what makes her feel again. It seemed like she had just been going through the motions of her life and no longer finding joy in what she did. 

I liked the author's writing style. She was able to write what she wanted you to see. There were a few times where she talked about how Johnny saw how life was and coming into a dark world. It felt very emotional to me.
