And the ending really was pretty perfect. It's a fast read, and I won't lie, I was caught up in the story at times. Still, it's a teen read, so I can see how they might enjoy some of this craziness. And no one is willing to use Google, apparently. So we're supposed to believe they are two flawed teens, and Olly is a happy go-lucky guy, without much evidence at all. We get light background on Erin and what seems like even less on Joe (in fact, it seems like his personality switches halfway through). There's very little character development here. Which, um, okay? Even better, she falls in insta-love with this ghost. But, Erin accepts the fact that there is a ghost in her room without any issue at all.

I kept thinking about if you could read a book like this without having to abandon all realism. To say it's cheesy and schmaltzy is putting it mildly. It's probably my fault for choosing a book with such a plot, but this one is pretty silly. One living, one caught between two worlds. Now, Erin finds herself torn between two brothers.

Until he meets a girl-different from anyone he's ever dated before. At the local school, Joe's brother Olly is struggling with being left behind. It's occupied by the spirit of Joe, the teenage boy who lived in the room before her. Erin surprisingly feels solace in her new room-where she soon realizes she isn't alone. Teenage Erin's family moves after a difficult time. Let's clear those shelves and delve into that backlist! This is the eighth book in my #atozchallenge!
