˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
Sam just moved to town after a horrible and near-death experience at their old school.  Sam had always had a special interest in people who died before they were nineteen and well the new house they moved it doesn’t bring them the peace they had hoped.  Naturally, Sam works on solving the murder of the kid that died in the house before them.

This book felt like a safe space.  Genuinely such a comforting and wholesome read with a bit of a mystery twist and a dash of paranormal elements.  The queer and autistic representation was so comforting to read.  The main character being non-binary, queer, and autistic was written so well.  Not to mention that there was amazing aro/ace rep with Sam’s dad.  Sam’s relationship with their dad was so heartwarming.
