And what I really liked about this book HAS to be the writing. But no amount of cliches were gonna stop me from caring about these characters, about Kirra (Yellow’s) relationship with his dad and drunk mom. This book isn’t what I’d call original, from the bullied-shy protagonist who’s actually really smart but self-conscious to ghosts, I have actually read it all before. That it turned out to be a beautifully -written book is just a stroke of luck I suppose. I fell in love with the cover and that is the ONLY reason I even thought about picking up this book. To be born with brains to spare and to waste them? That’s a sin.” “To be born with few brains, well, that’s unfortunate. Things aren’t so simple however, and Kirra realises that people can be haunted in more ways than one.
He makes her popular, he gets her parents back together, and he doesn’t haunt her. She’ll prove who murdered him almost twenty years ago if he does three things for her. Her so-called friends bully her, whatever semblance of a mother she had has been drowned at the bottom of a gin bottle ever since her dad left them for another woman, and now a teenage ghost is speaking to her through a broken phone booth.
If fourteen-year-old Kirra is having a mid-life crisis now, then it doesn’t bode well for her life expectancy.
