YA
Crippled by anxiety after experiencing severe bullying, Erin moves to a new town and home, where her bedroom is inhabited by the ghost of Joe; a romance ensues, but Erin also meets--and connects with--Joe's surviving, guilt-ridden brother Olly. When Erin is bullied again, a climactic scene involves all three teens saving one another. Despite the story's emotional depths, both romantic entanglements feel superficial.
