But when Paige hears the rumor that her death wasn't an accidentthat she supposedly jumped on purposeshe can't bear it. Then Paige discovers something amazing. She can possess living people when they think of her, and she can make them do almost anything. Maybe, just maybe, she can get to the most popular girl in school and stop the rumors once and for all.

WOW!! For a YA novella (180 pages), this really was so engaging. A High School setting, with students who, as ghosts, get “stuck” at the HS they died in. It‘s a book about grief, loss, and how the truth heals. Recently reviewed by a fellow Litten. (Book 29) #Michigan 🦋🦋🦋🦋 @Victoriahoperose

This was a really short book that packed a powerful punch. It really examines ideas about life and death and the afterlife in the eyes of 3 teenagers whose spirits are stuck in the high school where they died. I really felt like there was a lot in this book about teens and the pressures they face and how so many things can drastically change their outlooks. Great writing and story.

Izzy fell asleep in my lap before I could grab my Kindle. Starting this one on my tiny phone screen so I don‘t wake the pupper.

I'm so sorry I have been so absent over the last week! This week was crazy and on top of it I have been in the worst reading slump! I feel like I can't finish a book! It's so frustrating! I did finish my #whodunitbymail today and sent it off to @Jess7 though so I count that as an accomplishment (I sent it priority so it should be there on time on Monday!)

ApoptyGina69 The next best book is right around the corner for sure. 🤞📚👍 7y
Jess7 @EllieDottie I feel so bad when you spend too much on shipping. You should just send these books media mail. I almost never start reading them when they arrive anyway. 😔 (edited) 7y
EllieDottie @Jess7 don't worry at all it's more to make sure I keep the schedule because I can be a procrastinator and I can't give myself any slack!!! Plus It's is a really small book so I was just able to put it in a priority flat rate envelope!! 7y

Intrigued by this story. Settling in for a lazy day of reading!

I checked this out on a whim and surprised by how much I'm liking it. The basic concept of a non-horror teen ghost story reminded me a little of I Woke Up Dead at the Mall, which was 'ehh', but this is way better so far. Not likely to be a favorite read of the year but definitely a quick, engaging read.
