If you love books that take so long to get to the point that you forgot what the point was, this book is for you.
One of my top 3 books in 2021, re-read and enjoyed just as much (maybe more) a year later.
This book feels made for me, a grown up version of The Westing Game (Which you should read if you haven’t!), it’s joined that as one of my all time faves.

a fantastic, mysterious treasure hunt with a lot of story
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperFiction for allowing me to read an copy of this eARC. All views and opinions discussed here are my own.
This was such an intriguing and quirky read and is truly unique compared to anything else that i've ever read. It was a real mystery but also sort of crime noir; above all else though I felt this was all about love and friendships and the importance of living your life to enjoy it; not just to take money to the grave. I honestly really enjoyed this read and it was so whacky throughout that I couldn't help but enjoy it.
I really liked Tuesday; what an interesting character she was, and watching her breakdown later on in the book was honestly really sad. There's also such a range of interesting characters surrounding Tuesday; mainly that of Dex, Dorry, and Archie.
Although this is quite a whacky read there are some darker themes towards the end and it almost becomes a bit of a crime thriller book. This isn't a scary book though and the alternative title "Tuesday Mooney talks to Ghosts" is a bit misleading as there are no ghosts... only mental ones.
What stopped me rating it 5* was the slow pace of this book at times and some sections were so overly descriptive and just felt a bit unnecessary. It slowed the overall pace of the book down and was just a bit frustrating; I honestly mainly found this with Dorry's chapters which I admit to skimming.
Overall I enjoyed this book and thought it was an interesting and unique read.
"Friendship can be as deep as the ocean. It's all a kind of love, and love isn't any one kind of thing"

A fantastical romp through (and sometimes under) Boston.
Unexpected, compelling, and had surprising warmth. Some slow moments, but some profound depth for a lighthearted book. Not a very believable friendship, for me, at the center... But still fun.

Think national treasure meets ghosts? Like real ghosts…or are they?
Much like the final Lord of the Rings movie, I found myself not caring about an entire character’s plot line and waiting for their section to be over. BUT there were some good laughs and some nice twists and despite the sort of non-ending, I did enjoy this book.

The perfect book. A book that you can read and appreciate as an adult that will give you that exact feeling you had growing up, when you would read a book and it would completely BLOW YOUR MIND. A book to make you fall in love with books all over again.
Absolutely a joy to read! One of my favorite books in awhile.
