2.5 stars. I thought the main friendship in this book was cute, though half of that friendship was pretty volatile and the ghost aspect was interesting. I also enjoyed the rugby games and tryouts, along with the funny events that happened to one of the guys. But, overall this book just felt too scattered to me when it came to the plot.
