Death and communication with the dead. hMMMMMM. The book picks up your interest as it starts with a funeral/death right on the first page. The story builds well and is well-written. I like the premise but it does become a little more involved as it deals with issues about mothers and daughters and weaves itself into a secondary story which is also about death but also deals with boy-girl relationships. This was a simply written book, interesting enough but not a great read. It wouldn't be high on my list for "oh you just have to read this book" list but just an okay story for me.
