A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend by Emily Horner

5.0

Lovely, lovely story of a teenage girl working out her issues with her best friend's death, old enemies, and her own sexuality. Cass is an excellent main character, and her struggles feel painful and real--but the book never gets overwhelmed by sadness, considering the plot concerns a production of a musical about a ninja princess. Julia's character is clear and present throughout the book even though she's dead, letting her personality and her relationships with Cass and Oliver get a focus.
