"This town worships the dead, but it has no respect for the living." 

The mysterious town of HOME is where people go to be with their dead loved ones. Wenqi and her family move to a haunted house to bring forth her brother's spirit so they can live together as a happy family again. These houses are in such high demand that people known as "lingerers" will camp out on lawns until a house becomes available. 

This was a really unique story about grief and the lengths one would go to be with family. Everyone was so grief-stricken that they neglected their living family members because they struggled to let go of their dead loved ones. At one point, the plot even took a violent turn, which was shocking given the circumstances. 

I enjoyed the different POVs from Wenqi's experiences in the house with her family to Liam's experience as a lingerer to the elderly woman in town. Each character was very compelling and kept the story fresh. 

This was haunting and emotional, yet beautifully written.
