Georgia lives in the funeral home that her family owns and runs. And for the last few years she‘s been able to wake ghost‘s spirits when she touches a deceased person. None of those helps with her intense anxiety and crippling fear of death. Hoping to help grant peace and closure, she wakes the spirit of a classmate tragically lost, turning into a very intimate journey into grief, coping and communication.
pickThis was a meaningful examination of death, grief, and anxiety.
When an author uses a first person narrative, I think it leaves little room for character development beyond the narrator. I do actually feel, despite the lack of nuance throughout most of the story, the author did a very good job giving the other characters emotional depth in the end, forcing Georgia to see beyond herself in a way she‘d been incapable of for most of the story.
