Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is an emotionally intense paranormal romance about two teenagers connecting across life and death. It may appeal to readers interested in poetry, grief and unusual relationships, but its treatment of romance is contested.
Erin moves after severe bullying, experiences panic attacks and struggles to participate in school and relationships.
Erin falls for Joe, a ghost who is confined to a bedroom and can affect the physical world when distressed.
Joe is dead and uncertain about his condition, while his brother Olly carries guilt and grief; Joe’s unexplained past drives the suspense.
Pay particular attention to how the story frames Erin’s isolation and her attachment to Joe, especially because one response describes the relationship as unhealthy while another finds it plausible and emotionally effective.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
