Schwab cut back on the Harry Potter references, but there is still too much for my taste. I respect that she established Cassidy’s interest previously, but anything written past 2019 needs to reevaluate their use of J. K. Rowling references.

I’m completely enchanted by the idea of a girl who sees ghosts and photographs them. This is a cute YA novel, but I wish we could have this same character but with a more… Francesca Lia Block style writing.
