This book was an enjoyable read. I really like the fact that Suze is a female character that can take care of herself. She doesn't have to rely on someone else to rescue her, but she can get herself into more trouble than she bargained for and may need a little help along the way. She's a very confident young woman in what she can do as a mediator. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that she is attracted to the (living) boy that is liked by most girls and he really seemed to be an air head. Sometimes, it makes sense for a character to like that kind of a person, but I didn't think it suited Suze to fall for a guy like him. It's also interesting that Suze can communicate with spirits but she still isn't so sure that God exists. Suze is really the only character that I feel like I got to know very well in this book. Jesse, the ghost who lives in Suze's bedroom, is probably a close second. I love the fact that this is a series of books, so I hope the other characters in the book will become more dynamic and seem more like actual people as the series goes on. I would recommend this book to fans of Meg Cabot and anyone who has an interest in the paranormal and people who can speak with ghosts.
Sometimes, reading nostalgic faves isn't the best idea ðŸ«
This isn't one of my favourites but it's a really good book. I'm so exciting when I read!
I'm waiting for the second book of this series. (My mom will buy... I just don't know when. :/ But I still wait.)

I really liked this because it was about a person who could see ghosts and I liked the characters most of the time, but there were parts of the book where I didn't like the main character's actions. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the teen romance running through it.
I was recommended this book by a friend who said it was his favorite series in middle school. I can see why. Though it's rather cliche and holds a lot of early-2000s vibes (we all know the vibe we used to read), it was still really enjoyable. Cabot didn't hold back in writing teenage characters. Suze, Heather, Jesse, and everyone else felt authentic. I saw myself and my high school peers in the pages. I'll definitely be picking up the rest of the books.
Classic Meg Cabot - a feisty, funny, well-intention-ed young lady has a knack for ending up in trouble since she can see things most everyone else can't. This story gets you in a bit of suspenders (suspense... family joke...) over the ghost out to have a reunion with her ex-boyfriend in the afterlife, but mostly it will make you laugh. Most impressive, perhaps, is how angst-lite it is. Plus - and this is like OMG! - there are likeable, protagonist adults! The main character doesn't even hate her mom, *pause for the implied gasp*. Truly though, this book was both funny and fun.
This book felt like cozy hug really enjoyed the atmosphere and the main character was really realistic and downtown to earth there was some outdated language that I didn’t agree with. But overall enjoyable read
Honestly, this was the series that introduced me to Meg Cabot's works and I love them. I originally found the first five books altogether at a small thrift shop and still own those copies today (which probably explains the broken spine on this one after going on 10 years of owning it and it moving across the country with me twice).
One of my favorite series and I always found the characters to be easily relatable.

A few choice words but otherwise clean. Romance, humor, a bit of mystery. Strong girl character. A bit sappy, though teens like this sometimes. I was a bit gagged by how things just fell into place for Suze, but I suppose that is the teen dream. I loved the Carmel setting. First In a series- possible read alike - Gilda Joyce, Nancy drew. Appeal to younger teen girls
