My TBRL Review:
I am not sure what I was expecting when I started to read this. What I read was different and unexpected, I actually really enjoyed it and found myself really loving Pram. She was a little quirky and strange but I loved that the most about her, even though she tired to be “normal” it was hard to actually do that when you see ghosts and no one believes you. Pram spent a lot of time with a ghost friend named Felix. Felix really loves Pram and they have a very sweet relationship. When Pram gets sent to regular school, instead of being home schooled by her Aunts Dee and Nan, she is very worried that people will find her to be abnormal. What she didn’t expect was making a friend named Clarence. I actually felt that this had a very sweet friend triangle. I did love how the two boys really cared about Pram especially since she didn’t know her dad and she assumed she killed her mom during child birth. The characters really drive this book but it also had a great story.
The story is very sweet but not scary. I didn’t feel like it was slow and I finished the book in two days so I know it captured my interest only because I was so worried about Pram and her friends. I really enjoy this book, I haven’t read anything from Lauren DeStefano before and I don’t plan to make this book my last from her. I loved her writing style and how intense she makes the story and characters. This is a great read and I strongly recommend.
Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my review
Hope you have a great day and Happy Reading!
This does sound great, I’m going to have to give it a try. I’m very character driven myself, so this sounds right up my alley!
Oh yay, Michelle! I’m glad you enjoyed this one since I voted for it. 🙂 I like the sound of it – it does sound sweet and I’m curious as to how Felix dealt with Pram making friends with Clarence. I’ll be sure to pick it up sometime. 🙂
It was a very cute relationship. The characters really made this book awesome!
I have only read her debut novel, it sounds a little bit cute as well as ghostly, perfect for those who don’t want to be scared to death!
I really need to read another of hers. This one was very good and I think I might like her writing style.
Glad you liked it. I didn’t finish my pick this month
That’s ok! The link is open for a week so if you do get it up just link it if not, no worries 🙂
I was curious about that one…lol. I am glad it was good, might put it on my list. 🙂
I think you would like it. It’s not really spooky but it’s weird in a good way.
Pram sounds like a great character with how she’s different and tries to fit in. Her relationship with ghost Felix sounds very sweet. I don’t read a lot of books with ghosts, but there are some great ones out there. From the cover I would’ve expected it to be a bit creepy. Alhough knowing it’s not really scary makes me mroe likely to read it. Great review Michelle!
Thanks, Lola! The characters really made me love this book. The cover really had me, I thought it would be creepy also but it had a nice balance.
That was my pick, so I’m glad you enjoyed it. I like the sound of it and your review clinches it, so I’ve added it to my TBR. 🙂
It was different and I just loved the characters. If you get the chance to read it I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂
