Not bad, but not great either. In this paranormal romance the kid from the "I see dead people" movie (female version) grows up with the Addams family and lives in Stars Hollow until she moves to NY and becomes a romance ghost writer who doesn't believe in love. What I liked: the family dynamics, the exploration of pain, grief and loss. It was sad, but comforting. Inusually deep for an otherwise light setting. I did not cared for the love story, honestly. It was predictable, kinda forced and if you've ever read this kind of romance you know from the first page how they'll resolve the main conflict. And the "I'm not like other girls" energy of the FMC didn't help.
