But, Casper the ghost it was not. Anya struggles with fitting in, particularly because she feels disconnected from her cultural heritage and feels like an outsider and finds herself isolated from both her family and her classmates. Her encounter with the ghost, Emily, at first seems like a way for her to feel less lonely, but twists into a darker, more sinister territory, which was ... unexpected but an interesting turn of events.

I'm not okay. Once in a while, you come across something that just lingers with you, potent enough to bring you down to ruins. I've been staring at the walls of my room for the past two hours, trying to tell myself that this is not the greatest book I've ever read, it's not a complex world building or a fast-paced plot that gives you all the jitters. This was slow, moving and utterly transcendent.
When a boy and a girl, separated by time and space, swap places and fall in love with life. Set in a place I desperately want to move to (remember those beautiful, almost otherworldly images on the back of postcards?), Itomori, where a comet crashlanded and changed the course of two lives bound together by forklores of the past.

You knoAmidst the BookTok and BookTube outbursts when it came to Spy x Family because of its recently adapted Anime, I kept pushing this for a while. You know, when the time comes, and all that, but I needed something light hearted. And that was the only thing I knew about this manga series going in, and I was expecting something else but damn, I came across something so unimaginably pure and good, that I could not stop reading. I was laughing, awwing (the sounds that came out of my mouth was quite embarrassing, no pun intended), and I know everybody is gushing about the series but I was over the moon by the time I finished this one and a couple of others. AND the anime. Wow. That was really, really good. This has definitely gone up in my comfort-reads, and I wouldn't mind reading it over and over again....more
