Sixteen Souls by Rosie Talbot
5.0
It’s not often that I turn from the last page of a book to find myself shocked and devastated that it’s over. Thank god I already knew there was a sequel coming, because I don’t know that my heart could take just being done with Charlie. And Sam. And Heather. And Ollie. And Leonie. And Mitch. And Audrey 🥲
What a debut. Not only were the characters fleshed out completely and had growth (and so easy to root for, as evidenced above), but the plot was SO intricate. The science was there, the mystery was there, the sweet romantic undertones were there, the twists were there. It’s a YA, but there was still a lot of dark themes and some heavy grief — understandable, when ghosts play such a role. Also loved the disability and queer representation.
This was practically perfect, in my opinion. I couldn’t recommend it more.
