4/5 stars
Not my usual read, but I enjoyed it much more than I have other realistic fiction coming of age stories. 
The characters were loveable, the story was entertaining, and the switching between the past and future was very fluid. 
Going into this book I wasn't sure what to expect, and I'm glad I gave it a shot!

This book never really started for me. I thought there’d be a stronger paranormal element or a building of tension as the ghost club continued week by week. For me there was no mounting tension. the plot just essentially fizzled out it was well written though

This book was slow to build, but really delivered by its conclusion. It juxtaposes childhood and adulthood in a way that reveals so much to the reader. I finished the book feeling nostalgic for my childhood worries and fears. Explores themes of memory, loss, maturation, friendship and first love. A really wonderful read!
