Review

This book would be good for people who like love stories, and problem-solving, and are mature.The problem with this book for immature readers is that it glamorizes death. Joe falls in love, can do almost anything but leave his room. Erin's family moves to a new town to help her move away from her troubles. The summer before she started 7th grade was hit by a car. She started being afraid, then the fears grew and kids started making fun of her. The problem grew to the point to kids were telling her she should just kill herself and make the world a better place. Her new home is on the ocean, and her room comes with a ghost of a boy who would have been in her grade. They can see each other and sometimes touch. She meets Joe's living brother and starts to like him. BUT did he kill his brother?

Overall Book Score: good
