This gripping novel addresses a host of complex emotional & social issues (class divisions, poverty, Alzheimer's, depression, suicide, love) without being preachy or feeling like an after-school special. The only thing that I didn't like was the use of the 2nd person voice for the ghost; it just didn't flow for me and took almost half the book to get used to. I identified with the characters and had to force myself to put it down when I had other responsibilities to attend to.
