Went into this knowing nothing about it, and wow, it was so good.  I loved the characters, the spooky atmosphere, and the plot.  The trans rep was also fantastic and really enjoyable to read.

I loved this book so much!  The characters were well thought out and the friendships were so wholesome.  Ezra and Johnathan were so precious and I was rooting for them the whole time.  And I loved the line: “You don't have to make up for needing to be loved.” (- Johnnathan; Chapter 35, Page 277 of the ebook edition) it was so powerful in that moment.

Overall this is a story about a trans dude who can see dead people and falls in love along the way which I mean if that doesn’t convince you then note there is a very adorable dog in this book as well.

Thank you to the author, Random House Publishing, Dell Imprint, and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
