Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour brings a lot to the table in terms of grief, trauma, and love. However, it didn’t really hook me.

I felt as if Mila’s character was so hard to feel connected to. It always felt as if she were something on the outside. Now, this may have been the intention of LaCour, but I personally didn’t like that. However, Mila’s backstory slowly being revealed through the story is so heartbreaking.

I adored the foster parents and the children in the story, finding myself to love them more than Mila.

This book is a perfect fall read as it deals with ghosts as well!

Overall, this book brings so much to the table, but it was a miss for me.

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for providing me with an eArc in exchange for an honest review.
