This was an incredibly sad, but beautifully written book. I'm sort of mad that there aren't more pages to read, but it's perfect as it is. I don't know why I don't read more books set in Australia because they give me all of the nostalgic feelings and they connect to me in a way that other stories just can't.
Kirra is a despondent teenager that is trying to deal with an absent father, an alcoholic mother, disgusting friends and a creepy as hell ghost. Kirra's character development is amazing to read. And even though I should pretend to be an evolved being that doesn't condone violence, I was internally cheering when she punched a particular someone in the face. I kind of really like that the supernatural element isn't explained in the story; there is this ghost at the end of the phone line and it's just sort of accepted. Sometimes inconsequential details like that can bog a story down, so I'm glad this one doesn't suffer from it.

""I sit up straight and stretch my arms out, and I think that maybe I was born with a wishbone instead of a backbone." Dear Lorde! Kirra is just one of the saddest characters out there :'("
