My least favorite 😒
This was more “These Fleeting Shadows” and less “Rules For Vanishing”, “Our Last Echoes”, or “I Am Still Alive”. I can’t tell if the books are progressively getting worse or if I’m just crazy 🤷‍♀️

pleasantly creepy and twisty-turny, and I especially love that the girl created by the combination of the original girl and the ghost is a specifically different person than either the original girl or the ghost. very very cool. I wished it were scarier though! I miss those Rules for Vanishing days!
