I really liked the mix of anorexia and ghosts, the metaphor of holding on to your loss as a ghost companion. However, in Yovanoff’s hands, most of those elements work really well together.

And ever since then, she’s been haunting Hannah, hanging out, commenting on her life, and because of that, Hannah hasn’t been able let go of her grief and move on.īut things are changing this summer: Hannah’s become interested in Finny Boone, a delinquent and a poor student whom she’s known since kindergarten but never really paid attention to. Sixteen-year-old Hannah’s friend Lillian slowly killed herself through anorexia, finally dying about six months ago. ![]()
