"Eerie and sweet, haunting and real -- a ghost story of love in its many forms: the kind that binds, and the kind that frees."--Laini Taylor, National Book Award finalist for Lips Touch: Three Times "This ghost story gently delivers growing emotional power as it explores the thoughts of three teens, including the ghost. . . . Poignant and eventually quite moving."--Kirkus Reviews "A welcome addition to the shelf of YA books that deal honestly with grief. Without sugarcoating, it achieves a melancholy sweetness that is becoming a hallmark of Davis's work."--Publishers Weekly "This tale is a comfortable read for those who want more than a pink-covered romance or a melodramatic storry of loss, neither cotton-candy light not three-hankie dark." -- School Library Journal "A truly touching story." -Seventeen.com "Conversations about love, life, and death create a poignant connection between a life not quite lived and one in its final moments."--Bulletin --
