I read this book because I love uncarley on YouTube. She called “Ghosts” a “millennial rom-com” and it totally was, in all the good ways and none of the annoying ways one might expect. My favorite part about this story was the overall premise. It seems fresh to me. Alderton was able to take a relatively shallow idea and turn it into a story that was mature and meaningful, while still being funny and young. I really liked the message the novel held, especially as that message developed more deeply and fairly rapidly toward the end. It wasn’t rushed, though! It was perfectly paced. 

I also loved all the characters in this book. Nina was smart and her parents were a nice complement to her. Her mom was annoying but had a nice turnaround and her dad was sweet and highly loveable. Her friends are funny and kind, and her love interest, Max, is an excellent villain. The characters are well-developed and well-written. 

The only thing I disliked about this book--though there wasn’t much--was the feeling that Nina sometimes fell a little flat. But only sometimes and very rarely! I just mostly felt that way because of Nina’s dialogue; her interior monologue was thoughtful, clever, and sweet. When she spoke, I sometimes felt as if it wasn’t quite expressive enough. Again, I only felt this way occasionally. Most of the time, it was great. Other than that, I thought Alderton did a wonderful job writing this story.
