The premise behind this book is a sweet high school romance that is tested when they leave for college. The twist come when T meets other genderqueer people and begins to question who she really is. This is all completely normal I was just not impressed with the way the book dealt with it. Too many stereo types. Also I felt that the people around T were pushing for a decision that T was not ready for. Experimenting is part of life but no one should be pushed one way by peers. It is a journey only that person can take. Also, all the labels! We are all just human. I enjoyed this book but it frustrated the heck out of me at the same time.
  
It was an interesting take on ghost stories, certainly one I've never read before--or that I think I have...though the Charley Davidson series is kinda like it, I guess.

I was drawn in early on and although Alona was a little annoying at the start I have to say she'd grown on me (and Will) by the end. Will was just different from the start, not wanting to be popular and unable to be even if he wanted to with his ability to the see the dead.

The possibility of a romance between these two and moving to college makes me want to read the next one in the series and I'll be hunting it out from somewhere at some point in the future.
