A book about a lady who can’t catch a break to save her life — literally

I could pretend my short review is an intentional juxtaposition of this lengthy novel, but it's not. I'm just kinda not feeling like writing anything very long.

Like, what new insight could I provide? This book has been out since my parents were school-age.

That said -- this was worth all bazillion pages.

The book changes you as much as it changes the characters, if you let it.

My second attempt at Simone St. James. I want to love her stuff as the premise of each book is always delightful. But it’s just so boring? How can you manage to make a ghost story crime haunted boarding school BORING?!

And like I always say, life’s too short for boring books. Sorry Simone, just not for me.

I can’t really say anything that hasn’t already been said. Ugly and wonderful are apt descriptors. I plan to re-read when my own headspace isn’t as…in flux…as it currently is.
