I got this off a free for kindle site. It's not my usual read, I've not read many books about ghosts and mediums.
Jane is in high school, her parents have a gallery/shop. They moved to this town a year ago because of Jane. She works in their shop, loves art and her best friend, Evan is a ghost. He's also her only friend. Being new in school, Jane thought she would make friends quickly but didn't realise that it would be made harder as she was often seen talking to herself, well Evan, including having a full blown argument in the hallways with him, where everyone could see. Nearly a year after moving, she still has no friends, she only talks to Evan when she's on her own, her parents think she fine and now there's a new guy in school and, oh yeah, he can see Evan too.
This story starts off a bit slow, it allows you time to get to know the characters. Eventually Jane starts to become friend with a girl in her art class and soon catches the eye of the bad boy, newcomer, who isn't new. He's just been away for the past year.
As she gets to know him, she finds out that he's like her but handled it differently. Unlike Jane, who lied and said she was ok, Connor went a bit wild. He was out of control and ended up being locked up in a mental hospital.
He keeps chipping away at Jane until she finally caves and accepts that they are alike, he can see Evan and that he likes her. She'd thought he was trying to get her to be his friend so he could pull a horrible prank on her.
Throw in Evan's tale of abuse and murder and you've got a really good story.
Once the story gets you interested in the characters, it canters along at a good pace, taking you through several sets of emotions to a shocking near ending and a happy ever after.
