I read this book a month and a half too early! Would have been quite fitting for October. I loved the characters and their interactions, the Boston adventures, the mysterious circumstances. Some elements of the premise were confusing to me - things feel into place so oddly sometimes - but overall very enjoyable. 

Also, this exchange between Dorry and Tuesday is everything: 
"For now, we're just-friends." 
"I hate that," said Tuesday. Dorry looked stung, and Tuesday put a hand on her arm. "I hate that phrase. I know you don't think of being friends with Ned as being just anything." Her voice felt thick and she coughed it loose. "Don't cheat your friendships. Don't ask them to mean less to you than they do, or think they only have value if they're a stop on the way to a real relationship." Dorry rolled her eyes. "All relationships are real," said Tuesday. "Friendship can be as deep as the ocean. It's all a kind of love, and love isn't any one kind of thing."
