This book was not at all what I suspected. It was a slower read than I was prepared for as well as not what the synopsis sounded like. 

Dani’s gender and gender identity play a major roll in this book and while the synopsis says Dani is trans but it was a large focus of the novel. While dealing with and experiencing ghosts, the main premise definitely felt like the bigger picture was self love, acceptance, and knowing when to tell others about wrong doings. 

The abuse was not always deeply described. But it was hard to know something happened.


This was a slower read for me and the last 30 pages were probably the best for me and where I finally found I powered through the novel.
