Veronica and Sawyer go on a ghost hunt in this sad, yet hopeful, young adult romance.
Katie McGarry is an author I’ve been meaning to check out for a long time. I was in a major reading slump when I saw this title on my feed. With it being Halloween, I thought a ghost story with romance was just what the doctor ordered!
This story is less about ghosts and more about dealing with traumatic issues. This is a 4 Star Review because it was a quick, easy read when I needed a quick, easy read. However, this book deals with heavy subjects like cancer and alcoholism. I’m immensely glad it pushed me out of my slump, but the subject matter made me really sad while reading it.
Sawyer and Veronica are two people dealing with deeply traumatic issues. The two dislike each other intensely until a class project pushes them together. It’s a perfect “enemies-to-lovers” scenario with snappy dialogue and spades of chemistry between the two. I would have liked their romance a lot if their individual issues had been less intense. I will say Veronica’s dad and Sawyer’s sister are the most precious of cupcakes and deserve to be protected at all cost.
tl;dr A perfect “friends-to-lovers” story that I struggled to enjoy as the main character’s personal stories were quite sad.
