evagrace_j's review against another edition
2.0
This was ... a journey. A friend of mine read the sequel to this book which sounded really good, but being the person I am, I decided to read this one first even though the plot didn't sound as much my thing. That might have been a mistake? I'm not sure ...
This book is an odd mixture of Christian fiction and ... ghost story. In the end it all makes sense, but during the book it just ... felt a little too weird for my personal tastes.
Add that I don't really like Dani that much, there was some ... some language that I really didn't like*, and personally the two times Dani could possibly have been raped was waaay too much for me.
Overall ... a lot of it just didn't work well for me personally.
Other than that, I thought it was a fairly good representation of grief (I felt so bad for Dani and her mom), and I really liked what's his name (sorry I'm really drawing a blank here ... her friend from biology class).
Definitely wasn't the best book for me but it was okay.
*Dani uses the word "retard" as an insult which ... is not okay. She also frequently uses "insane", and "crazy", which I usually don't mind that much but put me off a little.
