I thought this book was an excellent read. I think I probably would have liked it even more in middle or high school but I still felt I got a lot out of it I think if it were an adult novel version I would have wanted them to go a bit further with some of the ideas they explored but for a young adult novel I think this was a great foray into mixing the supernatural with a discussion of grief, fear, the pressure of living up to family’s expectations, and the importance of taking care of our mental health and practicing community care.
