I was underwhelmed by this book. The writing was good but it was nothing special. The story line really picked up towards the end. I like that fact that the story was completed and it didn't keep you wondering about what if's. Overall it was an okay read.

I think I'm the one that became a ghost while reading this. Boring. Boring. Boring. Mind numbingly so.

Whew! I read this after a chain of books that I felt kinda “meh” about and then I read this all in one day. I love Lauren Oliver's books for kids and teens, and it turns out I love her book for adults, too. I love the shifting narrative, especially the parts narrated by ghosts, and the how the story unfolds gradually between them all.

Also I personally like that it is a ghost story that's not really scary, just sort of reflective.

NOTE there is a dead kitten in this book but overall I still enjoyed it.
