The concept of this story was awesome, and I have to admit that the book did a pretty good job living up to it. Putting aside some printing errors (punctuation that should have been picked up by an editor), this was a good, fairly quick read.

You really bought into Ella's depressed state of mind in the beginning as the narrator's voice came across very deliberate and monotone, but not boring at all. I wish there could have been more development on Rudi's character who you really never get to know as well as Ella - for understandable reasons.

My favorite part was the inclusion of the ghosts and their own personalities and characters. I loved them every time they made their presence known.

For how entertaining the read was, I wish that there had been more development of the character relationships and the storyline. I feel like there was some heavy editing done and that pieces that would have helped establish personalities better were lost. But overall - I found myself engaged from the beginning and enjoying this book!
