goodreads summary:
Heaven couldn't be a phone bank, could it?
Charlotte Usher discovers that the afterlife isn't quite what she pictured when she's forced to intern at a hotline for troubled teens. Before she can officially cross over, she'll have to be a source of guidance for one such teen. The problem is she doesn't have much advice to offer since dying hasn't exactly boosted her confidence level.
But when Hawthorne High's leading, love-to-hate cheerleader Petula and her gothic little sis' Scarlet find themselves suddenly resting-in-peace in comas, Charlotte's opportunity to save them will prove to be the risk of a lifetime-for all of them.
Review:
like most books in a series ghostgirl is a series that you need to read in order. with a lot of books though, the sequals aren't usually as good as first. however i must say that does not apply in this case. i believe i read ghostgirl 2 years ago when i saw it on ace of cakes. i remember that, that book was a struggle to get through. with homecoming though, it was no problem. i could easily read it after work with little concentration need. (which is something i don't have since my brain just doesn't want to function after dealing with a bunch of morons.) this one also wasn't as depressing as the first one. ya there were some not so super happy moments, but it didn't leave me with this "oh well that's just depressing, i'm gonna go sit in a corner" feeling. i still felt bad for charlotte though at the end.
i also want to apologize for the no caps, i'm tired and i'm too lazy to do caps. if you have a problem with that, then to bad.
anyway, it's definitely something that i think most teens will like. especially those that are more into the depressing life story kind of thing or just even paranormal like books too. do i plan on reading the next one? absolfreakinglutley!
