* I got this book for review*
I really enoyed this book. I think that it has so many elements that i enoyed. i loved the ghost elements and the romacne was really fun. This book was more friends to more or strangers to friends to more with a bit of tension. I loved the setting and also really liked all the elements in this story that adressed like graduation and end of the high school thing including romance and drama. I got def see this series going several different ways def a soild read!

I love Jane Austen and will read everything to do with her or retellings of her books. I love seeing modernized versions of my favorite works. While Northanger Abbey isn't my favorite of Jane's, I've read it plenty of times and appreciate it.
With that said, you do NOT need to know and understand Northanger Abbey to enjoy this story. It's a quick and cute book. I can sense some of the classic themes from the original in this take by Amanda Quain, but she really has made it her own and I'm cool with that.
I love that Amanda has switched the gender names here for her story. ( In Austen's NA, Henry Tilney is the MMC and Catherine Moreland is the FMC. In Ghosted, Henrietta- aka Hattie - Tilney is the FMC and Kit Moreland is the MMC ) Hattie is determined and has a plan of action for her life, but then Kit is thrown into it and she has to figure out if that plan was really worth it.
The story is really easy to just melt yourself into and enjoy for a couple of hours while you read it. It is definitely YA, so expect some silly drama and nothing too romantic. My only problem is that the book sort of showed no plot for a while. It just seemed to want to grow the relationship budding between Kit and Hattie, which was cute, but it did kind of take away a little from more interest for me. This is why I knocked it down to 4 stars.
Overall, cute story with a nice message. I'd recommend you giving it a read.… (meer)

Too much banter
No overly likeable characters
Trying too hard to make Pride and Prejudice fit in an elite prep school (with Wickham as the bad guy who gets all of the rich white kids strung out of Oxy. Talk about a common and stereotypical troupe)
I couldn't finish it y'all. I tried. I wanted to see Georgiana Darcy as the main protagonist. I loved her falling for her best friend. BUT I could not resonate with anyone. ANY ONE. (And this is from someone who LOVES Pride and Prejudice.) I barely even got to experience Lizzie Bennett and that, to me, is a travesty.
