A review by olinoel
Light Beneath Ferns by Anne Spollen

4.0

I've read this odd little book twice now. My only issue with it is that the romance aspect seemed kind of wooden, but maybe that's just because the author was trying so hard to make it mysterious and surreal, something she mostly succeeded with. Other than that, I just love this book. Elizah makes a fascinating narrator, and to me she was both believable and relatable. I like how the whole thing was just... different. I like how Spollen interwove the real-life issues with a ghost story, too, and although the ghost part wasn't actually scary, I do think it was delightfully spooky. This is one of those books that I just keep thinking about after I've finished it. It's haunting. I would definitely recommend it, but only if you're ready to go into it with an open mind. It's really not your typical YA paranormal romance.
