Review Detail

Reader reviewed by jocelyn

I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME is a love story. Ava and Jackson are teenagers whose romance is at its best when Jackson accepts a dare. Hes a daring sort of guy, but this dare is his last; he jumps off a high rock into some water and hits his head on a rock and dies. Ava is, understandably, devastated now that Jackson is gone.

Or is he? She cant see him, except for glimpses in the mirror, cant touch him except in her dreams, but the sudden rushes of cold air, the electronics being turned on as if by a ghost&Could it be Jackson, her love come back to her? Most people would think shes nuts, but Ava knows the truth. Jacksons back. She just isnt sure why or how or even if thats truly the way she wants it.

This is a lovely verse novelhaunting, a beautiful story, beautifully written. I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME is a powerful story of life, love, loss, grief, and moving on (but not forgetting)of finding hope after a tragedy. There is a ghost, but this isnt really a paranormal story. Not a ghost story, really, just a love story, and no matter if their passion was powerful enough to keep Jackson around even after death, they are still fifteen, and this is a real, honest story of what teenage love is usually like.

I read this book in Books-a-Million (I have resolution not to spend so much money on books, and the way to remedy this is to go sit for an hour or two at the bookstore and read), but its one Id go back to time and time again, one Id like on my shelf. So go! Read it! It comes highly recommended.
