Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book! I knew as soon as I read the description that I NEEDED to read it
I really liked this book. I wasn't expecting a book about a ghosts to be anywhere near as funny as this was.
I liked watching Cara's relationship develop with Meredith, but I find myself wanting more. I wish we had gotten more of Meredith's relationship/conversations with Aiden after she found out about his ghost. Or some chapters from her point of view to get a better idea of how she was feeling. I expected a book about a boy helping his grieving sister to make me cry alot more than this book did, and I think it would have been more emotional to get Meredith's (or even Aiden's) POV for at least part of the book.
I'd say my biggest issue with the book was Cara's selfishness. I was really annoyed with her when everything went down after Meredith found out about Aiden's ghost, both with how she made everything about her and the fights with Holly and Aiden afterword. I wish we had gotten to see the resolutions to the fights with Holly and Aiden.
In spite of the couple issues I had, I did enjoy the book. I was hard to put down and it made me laugh alot
