Mila has no one in this world after she has aged out of foster care system and this is her story when she accepts a job at a farm owned by a couple who's known for taking in orphans which happens to be the refuge of kids like her.
She gets the job to teach the kids and stay together with them all under a roof. But things happen which are beyond her control but yes, under the caring found family with each of them having to fight for their own ghosts, this ghostly rural fantasy kept me hooked till the last page and it made my heart so warm throughout the story. This one will stay memorable.
Think twice before opening up this book. Because...you will know the moment you open it up. I haven't been creeped out like that in years!
Most part of the book is all about healing and acceptance.
This book would be so apt to choose for Halloween readathons, readalong or just as an October read. It gets spooky at times with all those ghosts dancing and being mean at times and sparking fear, discomfort to the ones they are seemingly low-key haunting.
I like the half-way scary vibes, the half-way crime vibes, the half-way attachments and detachments. The writing is addictive. This is the book that can be finished up in one sitting.
The adult characters, the adoptive parents, are warm and quite experienced in handling these broken, scarred for life ones.
I particularly felt so protective towards Lee, a 9 year-old, who hides in smaller space and keeps rocking back and forth when his ghosts strike.
I totally understand why Mila's the way she's.
She had suffered enough living under a man, Blake, who kept manipulating her mother and made them live in inhuman surroundings.
I am surprised how this author's writing has made such a huge improvement throughout these years!

I haven't read about the loneliness of this depth before, except in 'All The Bright Places'. The need for acceptance, the horrors of the past, it was all overwhelming. The protagonist, Mila, fights the ghosts of her past as well as the present. I was romanticizing her journey a little bit, not that I didn't know about the trauma and turmoil she went through, but what if her journey was a bit happier.
Nina has a unique way of unleashing her words in a way to make it more impactful and real. Momentarily it felt hauntingly real. That moment ended when I completed the book and came back to the real world.

This book is BEAUTIFUL
Reviewed in the United States on 2 December 2020Verified Purchase
I loved Nina LaCour's writing already but this book is in a realm of its own. It's stunning, haunting and beautiful. I read it as a library book then turned around and bought a copy for myself and for a friend because I loved it so much. Don't worry about it being a ghost story if you don't like scary things - while haunting, it's not overtly scary. There's so much I loved about this one - I hope you love it too.

NINA LACOUR DOES IT AGAIN
Reviewed in the United States on 28 October 2020Verified Purchase
Literally, I don't know how she consistently writes these stories that seem to envelope me immediately and wholly, but she does. Every. Single. Time. I feel the grief and the growth and the joy and the learning and the happiness and everything she puts on the page. How lovely it is to read something this spectacular.

A different kind of ghost story
Reviewed in the United States on 2 December 2020Verified Purchase
Nina LaCour is one of my favorite authors and I love her new book! It is a beautiful journey, and a ghost story that endearing and not at all scary.

Beautifully written and super creepy. I read this entire book in one sitting, and then thought about it for weeks.
