Restless souls and empty hearts
Brooklyn can't sleep. Her boyfriend, Lucca, died only a year ago, and now her friend Gabe has just died of an overdose. Every time she closes her eyes, Gabe's ghost is there waiting for her. She has no idea what he wants or why it isn't Lucca visiting her dreams.
Nico can't stop. He's always running, trying to escape the pain of losing his brother, Lucca. But when Lucca's ghost begins leaving messages, telling Nico to help Brooklyn, emotions come crashing to the surface.
As the nightmares escalate and the messages become relentless, Nico reaches out to Brooklyn. But neither of them can admit that they're being haunted. Until they learn to let each other in, not one soul will be able to rest.
Was this book worth my time?
Yes.
This book was such an easy, fast read. I literally couldn't put it down. I felt like there wasn't a good place to stop. The story flows so seamlessly. It never stops. It never slows down.
The free verse is wonderful and perfect for the story. I don't believe that I would've felt the grief that the characters were feeling if it was written in prose.
It's haunting; it's devestating; it's joyful; it's triumphant.
What bothered me?
NOTHING! Fabulous book especially for girls who claim they hate to read. ;)
