Loved this book! 'Sparrow Hill Road' is basically a collection of connected short stories centered on hitchhiking ghost Rose Marshall aka the Girl in the Green Silk Dress / the Phantom Prom Date. Run off the road by a malicious spirit far too young, she spends her afterlife trying to save those she can or else acting as a comforting escort for new ghosts to their final destination. And also occasionally dodging or helping ghost hunters, depending on her mood. McGuire has created a story with a deep well of lore, a lot of heart, and even a dash of humor. It's tragic and melancholic, and also a charming love letter to diners, the open road, and small town America. She evoked all the feelings and a sense of nostalgia for a certain time and place in my life, and I'm incredibly excited to return to this series and see where it takes me.
