For a middle grade book, this had me wanting to know all the things as they happened. I feel like we as adults are missing out on some great writing in some of these middle grade books. Still pissy about how the parents treated the MC and wish it would have been addressed better in the story. ( )

***Contains Spoilers***

DNF @ 83%. Underwhelming in every way. The dad is a dick. The mom is useless. Lily is alright, but obviously traumatized by her emotionally abusive dad and checked out mom. I decided to read some spoilery reviews after the chapter where a benevolent ghost just shows up to explain everything to Lily. Like ??? Lazy storytelling much? Anyways, oof at that ending. Glad that I'm not wasting anymore time on this.
