Description
Cara is an aspiring ghost hunter, determined to show she’s more than a high school outcast by finding proof of the supernatural. Then she stumbles upon the spirit of Aiden, a popular boy who died a year ago. Yet Aiden has his own plan to help his reclusive sister Meredith recover from his death. And he’s decided Cara’s the girl for the job.
Cara agrees to ask Meredith out in exchange for Aiden helping her prove there’s life beyond death. No dates, no ghost. Wooing the standoffish Meredith isn’t going to be easy, however. With Aiden’s coaching, Cara slowly wins Meredith over – and finds herself really falling for her in the process. But as Meredith gets happier and Aiden’s mission nears completion, his ghost begins to fade. Can Cara carry on dating and deceiving Meredith – or will she have to give up the ghost?

What a story, this was gripping and excuse the pun 'haunting' from start to finish. This story battles grief both past and present, friendships, romance, trust and more. Our leading character is a bisexual ghost hunter by the name of Cara, whos best friend is a devout catholic called Holly. Having been friends through the good and the bad it begins with them helping each other with their respective Youtube chanels, but Cara's escapades ghost hunting uncover something neither could expect - Cara can communicate with the spirit of Aiden, a teen who died at the site of her last ghost hunt. Trying to find out more and bring him some closure, the chaos leads Cara to his sister Meredith in an attempt led by Aidens ideas to try and make her happy as she has been depressed since his passing. Focusing on character development this story battles trust issues, maturing, being truthful with themself and others and more and although there was some bumpy parts i am glad that overall that closure and happiness was achieved for all.

I was so excited to read this and I loved the relationships between Cara, Aidan and Meredith. I found to be heart-warming and poignant at times.

I'm not a big contemporary romance reader, but the supernatural elements really brought it all together for me. I found this really heartwarming. It was a comfort read for sure!

3.5 ⭐️
This was a super sweet young adult romance, with a bit of a twist. The premise was so interesting and the writing was very engaging.
I liked watching Cara and Meredith’s relationship blossom, and I seriously loved the exchanges between Cara and Aiden. Although I wasn’t so keen on Cara as a character overall - she was too selfish for my liking - I could appreciate the teen angst for what it was.
The main criticism that I have is that I never got to really revel in any serious emotion. The story would have had more impact if the book had chapters from Meredith’s point of view; losing her brother would have been a heartbreaking event to go through, yet the vibe of the story was more lighthearted and playful then deep and emotional.
Nevertheless, it was a lovely book and a very easy young adult read 🥰
