something you have to respect about a book with a twist is that it's all twist.
take this, for example. no one ever talks about the lovable characters, or the memorable relationships, or the lovely writing.
that's because it doesn't have any of that. it's a twist and that's all.
previous to this moment the entirety of my review of this was the following: "what???"
and in truth that sums it up!
part of a project i'm doing where i review books i read a long time ago, and in so doing add nothing at all to any conversation

i kind of started suspecting the “twist” pretty early on and mostly finished the book in order to verify that i was right. with you 100%, though: this is just an extremely long setup with a disappointing punchline of “ghosts!”

i just finished reading this one and did not understand the twist. so did her cousins come back as ghosts to help candence through her grief? how are they there present day if they died in the fire?
