Okay, I will open up with the "I'm Bumming" part first. NetGalley shows this is published in April 2015 but when I stated looking at the look it looks like it was first published in 2013 as an eBook. Bummer because....
This was really good. The story opens with David's death. He hasn't moved on, he attends his funeral, sees his parents, sees his best friend making out with the girl he liked... Then someone actually sees him...Bethany. Ironically, she is the girl no one else sees. David starts hanging out with Bethany and they become friends. Together they try to figure out why David is still around. While there are hints leading up to what Bethany is struggling with it isn't until the climactic ending that everything comes together.
Beautiful, tragic, sweet in it's simplicity. Too mature really for my age level and not eligible for MSBA anyway. But a good book.
