I was underwhelmed by this book, however, the ending I found very distasteful. It turned the book from a meh to a solid no. 

The book suffers from tonal whiplash and not knowing who its audience is. Some chapters are teenage cutesy romance and others are ghost haunting mystery. 

The characters are 16 though read a lot younger which is why it was super jarring when they had sex and it didn't even fade to black. 

I would have assumed this was aimed at the younger end of YA because the characters read more like 13/14 and the writing was quite simplistic. 
 
Everything was wrapped up too quickly at the end and it felt cheap. 

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC
