I really enjoyed this book. A quick, easy read. Felt like there was an underlying message I missed though but reading other reviews it seems like others felt the same. 

Sounds odd to say, but I was always a bit excited when a child died because it meant Hannah would get to talk to their ghost, which were my favourite parts, haha.
