A review by sammy234
The Ghosts of Ashbury High by Jaclyn Moriarty
5.0
I could wax poetic on this series as a whole , or go into mad hysterics talking about the humor and dialogue and amazing character development and mystery and suspense and brilliance and romance and friendship and atmosphere and plotting and that overall " I'm home and in my favorite sweatpants" feeling that I always get when I open a Jaclyn Moriarty book , but I won't.
It would be serious gibberish and embarrassing for all parties involved.
( Plus , all the ands I've just used are proof that it's really easy to abuse the English language SORRY ENGLISH LANGUAGE I WAS EXCITED)
All I'm going to say is that I sort of want to read the whole series over immediately. And I'm sad because I don't when I'll find a series like this again.
It's a Jane Eyre moment for me.
Meaning I felt the same as I did when I read that passage where Jane and Mr. Rochester are sitting on the bench underneath the tree being all emotionally repressed and Mr. Rochester says , " OMIGOSH A MOTH LOOK AT IT JANE SO PRETTY IT'S FLOWN JANE WHY ARE YOU CRYING I'M JUST SENDING YOU TO IRELAND WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST THE IRISH AND BY THE WAY WHEN YOU ARE GONE I BLEED INWARDLY LOVE ME YOU ELFISH THING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A CRAZY WIFE THAT SOMETIMES BITES PEOPLE IN HER ATTIC IT'S NOT RELEVANT AT THIS MOMENT SHE'S FINE IT'S TOTALLY FINE"
Yeah. This book gave me the swoons that that book did.
And I don't even mean romantic swoons , though that happened. Just OVERALL.
Read it. It's like eating a chocolate bar drizzled in caramel and a sprinkle of love and gothicness. I'm sorry if that makes no sense but I'm not in a calm state of mind.
Totally , Totally recommend it.
