And it’s so much fun, without there being excessive humour and entertaining but pointless scenes to the plot. I know… what was I thinking judging so easily? I guess sometimes it’s actually good to be wrong about books. (I also didn’t like the cover its colors: lurid, lurid, lurid!) Anyway, it just didn’t look serious enough for me, and when the subject is ghost-related, I like it mature and complex. I just never paid much attention to it, because my eleven-year-old self thought it looked… weird. I remember borrowing a couple of The Princess Diaries books from my library and seeing this series next to it. I also know that I acted foolishly by not giving it a shot. This doesn’t mean that I liked every single book she wrote, but I loved the fact that I could just chose the genre I wanted to read with her, know what I’m saying? Contemporary, urban fantasy, paranormal, supernatural, historical… She’s a versatile writer and those types of writers always impress me. Now I remember why Meg Cabot used to be my most favourite author when I was younger. There’s a ghost with revenge on her mind… and Suze happens to be in the way.Ĥ.5 stars. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations.īut the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it’s not that easy. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn’t seem to need her help. And they won’t leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. Suze is a mediator – a liaison between the living and the dead. There’s a hot guy in Susannah Simon’s bedroom. Genres & Themes: Young Adult, Paranormal, Ghosts, High School
