What I thought I was going into when I read Anya's Ghost was a quirky coming-of-age story with that familiar "girl meets ghost" vibe, where the ghost ends up being a friend who helps her realize what's truly important. 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.

Dani Wow, interesting! It sounds a lot deeper than a Casper, glad you enjoyed a bit! ❄☕


Halcyon @Zaynab Definitely not like Casper. I'm glad it took an unexpected turn, pleasantly surprised by it all though I wish it had been a bit longer for me to feel attached to the characters and sit with what happened in the end. Thank you, Zaynab!


Halcyon @Dani Yess. It reflects on a lot of important issues and still ended up being an enjoyable read with its darker, twisted version. Thank youu, Dani!
