Open Mic Night at Westminster Cemetery by Mary Amato

nerdymaeve's review

Too many other books became available during Spooky Season. I’d have to re-read if I picked it back up later.

I really enjoyed this. Not what I thought the story was going to be like at all. It was better, the characters where amazing and quite well developed in a small amount of time. 3.75 stars :)

DNF p. 10. Sometimes it's just realize nice to realize "nope, not for me."

My only problem with this book is the male gaze that sometimes pops up other than that is a great and truly unique story

Well that was weird and delightful!! There were two iffy references to the homeless and mentally ill, but other than that, a fabulous little read. The omniscient narrator had me feeling seeeeeen so much of the time. They even called out to teachers, librarians, and booksellers reading the book who weren’t young adults 😂The mc said the F bomb a lot, which I appreciate because I do too. Also, why the hell didn’t I know Poe married his 13 y/o cousin????
