Not my type of book at all but it was great to go out of my comfort zone. The book is a bit weird, yes, but not because it's a ghost narrating it but for the weird "solange is 17 ans she wants to steal her mother's bf" or georges likes chopin in a way that she wants to be his mother/breastfeed him. So yeah: nice, weird, but still cool I loved having the pov of the ghost Blanca is so funny I'm sad at how she died. Also this book is a big "EW MEN" and I couldn't agree more, I'm so glad even as a ghost she kinda acted like a vigilante protecting young girls and
very happy she killed the sacristan, even if it was a mistake he'll finally stop raping CHILDREN

The writing style was also great, so engaging and fun to read
