Customer Reviews

Very intriguing

The idea that spirits are tied here to earth after they die has always really intrigued me, and the way April Henry describes the ghosts being attached to their bones is really unique and very interesting. Makes you think about things in a new way. Plus the main character Adele is great. I really loved her and found myself cheering her on. An overall great read!
