Sylvie never called them ghosts, but that's what they wereâ??not that George ever saw them herself. The new girl, Sylvie, is like a creature from another time, with her old-fashioned leather satchel, her white cotton gloves and her head in the clouds. George watches her drift around the edge of the school playing fields, guided by inaudible voices.When George stands up for Sylvie, beating back Tommy Payne and his gang of thugs, it brings her close to the ethereal stranger; though not as close as George would have liked. In the attic of Sylvie's father's antique shop, George's scars will sing and her longing will drive them both toward a tragedy as veiled and inevitable as Sylvie's whispering ghos… (més)

It was well written, but it's not my genre, so I didn't enjoy it. Don't go by my opinion! ( )

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a well written novella and I felt like it would have benefited from being a longer story, to give more impact to the character development. That being said, its a darker story working through identity/coming of age/finding yourself. A touch of supernatural along the way, which I was looking for to be more involved in the storyline. Again, would like to see this deepened and lengthened to add more to the depth all around. ( )

A little surprised that something this short was published on its own. Dark and nasty in a number of ways; fascinating world building, strong characterisation, beautiful writing ( )

I received this from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. It's a novella that I read in one day. I think it could be made into a full novel and fill in a lot of gaps about Sylvie that have been left. As a young adult book I think the relationship between the characters is representative of high schoolers or even middle schoolers today. I would love to see what this book could do with more 3 dimensional characters. ( )

George, an unpopular, chubby girl, struggles with her gender, social identity, and sexuality. When she meets Sylvie, she is instantly attracted to her odd and peculiar personality. After standing up for Sylvie, and beating back the bullies, they are drawn together.

This was a novella, and I felt that it did not have enough details to make the story interesting. Sylvie felt like a half formed character. She had possibility, but it was never really fully developed. The story hinted at things, but that was all. It felt like nothing really happened. Overall, a bust. ( )
