Dead Letter Office by Kira Snyder
1.0
I received this book for an honest review.
The concept of this book sounded interesting... like the old Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books from elementary school. I've not seen one of these for an older crowd so I had to read it!
Unfortunately, it feels like there is too much going on in this book. I'm okay with a teen shirking her teen-responsibilities to ignore the law and try to solve a case that she has no business with. I can get down with a book about a teen who talks to a ghost that helps her through a difficult time. I'm good with a book that chronicles the changes a young lady goes through after a family member dies and she has to move to a new town/school. But all of these things mixed together in one book that was ALSO a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure was too much to follow for me.
