dark emotional mysterious reflective sad

3.75

Set in 1980s NYC, this book was fun and sad and even a little mysterious (with the inclusion of missing girls, and also ghosts). It’s one of those books where nothing happens but also everything happens. It kept me captivated but I don’t think it’s a book that will stay with me for long.
