Funeral Girl by Emma K. Ohland
4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book.

Georgia Richter and her twin brother have always been surrounded by death. Growing up in a funeral home, they know all the ins and outs of the business of death. The emotions of it, however, are complex. When a classmate dies unexpectedly, Georgia uses her gift, the power to awaken ghosts, to ask them their final wish, on him. Milo has a big wish, one that Georgia isn't sure she can help with. It starts her on a journey of examining how she feels about death and grief.

All in all, I think this book deals with the subject of death and grief well. Georgia has a lot of anxiety and it comes through in many ways, all of them realistic. Yes, this is a book about ghosts, but it's more about the fact that death and trauma are haunting Georgia and she has to learn to cope with her fears and anxiety.
