REVIEW
Veronica lives with migraines and thinks she will also die as her mother did of a brain tumor. She also lives her life to her own beat and although her friends love her quirkiness, she is also known a the weird girl at school. There she is thrown into a partner project for her senior year and ends with Sawyer, one of the athletic popular people for a project that Veronica really believes in: ghosts. Neither one wants to admit they have other secrets but as the pair gets to know each other, a relationship develops that surprises both of them.
Sawyer’s parents’ divorce placing his family into an apartment where his mother drinks her life away and he ends up trying to keep everything together. Veronica doesn’t want to get close to him because she thinks she is just going to die anyway and her migraines cause her to be a bit unreliable. This is what I love about Katie McGarry, her characters pull you in and there are always minor characters that you want to get to know and I am so glad she knows that and spins off a book on those characters. Most of her books take place in Kentucky with the class struggle evident.
