Do You Believe in Ghosts? Book Chick Recommends I Heart You, You Haunt Me
I have a big thing for ghost love stories. I think it’s the inherent impossibility of the relationship. Right? I mean a human and a ghost can’t really be together in meaningful way. In Lisa Schroeder’s young adult novel I Heart You, You Haunt Me, Ava is haunted by the notion that she was responsible for her boyfriend’s death, then she’s haunted by him. He appears in mirrors, turns on music, and even tosses her panties around. But she can’t see him, can’t touch, can’t feel him, she can’t even hear him. She loves that he’s near and that a part of him hasn’t gone to the grave because she’s still desperately in love with him. But alas, loving a ghost isn’t easy. But reading this novel is. It’s written in verse, is wonderfully short, and can be read and savored all in a day.
