Oh my goodness. I simply devoured this book. I fell in love with the story straight away, sympathizing with Sylvie and her life’s difficulties. As if her huge crush on Kevin who notices her best friend instead, and her family breaking up weren’t enough, her body keeps embarrassing her in public as her spirit keeps projecting out of it. What a concept! And this intriguing situation reeled me right in. But, it wasn’t just the original story that did it for me, it was the exquisite writing and the characters that were so well fleshed out they felt incredibly real to the point that I miss them now and wish I could revisit them just to see how they’re getting on. A remarkable achievement. This book will stay with you forever and will make your mind drift to your own life’s troubles back at puberty – hopefully filling your heart with the same bittersweet feeling as it did for me. Highly recommended. This book whetted my apetite for more paranormal stories and I only wish they’ll be half as wonderfully written as this one was by Katie Hayoz. I’ll definitely look into her other books, and hope she’ll write a paranormal story again in future.

My rating:

5 stars
