I Heart You, You Haunt Me

Reader reviewed by kathy

I think that "I Heart You, You Haunt Me" was a good book. It wasn't really what i expected but you still fell that certain type of emotion when you read about someone losing a loved one. The book was shorter than i thought and didn't really describe a lot of things.
Other than that, it still went on with the story.
A girl who lost her boyfriend, finds out that his "spirit" is still with her, and then lets go and moves on. That pretty much wraps it up. But as your reading you can see that the dead boyfriend is still madly in love with her and just wants her to be HAPPY.

Even though the story could have been better, i would still recommend this to readers.

I really liked the story plot. I was hoping to see a little more humor and a little less seriousness. i thought it really creavtive that it was a ghost that she was still acttached to. but i love how she didnt fall for lyricbut better yet told him that she wasnt the one for him.

Summary (courtesy Amazon.com):

Girl meets boy.

Girl loses boy.

Girl gets boy back...

...sort of.

Ava can't see him or touch him, unless she's dreaming. She can't hear his voice, except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she's crazy, but she knows he's here. Jackson. The boy Ava thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. He's back from the dead, as proof that love truly knows no bounds.

My Review (no spoilers): Very quick book. Seriously, its like something you read in an hour. It wasn't something that was horrible (because it was quite good) but it just wasn't super amazing. I think the reason for Jackson's death is rather odd. I would never do what Jackson did to die... c'mon now, common sense. Jackson is what any girl wishes a guy to be. Sweet, funny, witty, laid-back, go-with-the-flow and it was very sad to put yourself in Ava's position. I understand why she kept trying to connect with Jackson, even though he was dead and a ghost. Ava is going through many emotions in this book: love, hate, regret, guilt, etc. The free verse was perfect for this kind of book. I felt as though I was in one of those cafes where they snap their fingers while someone reads their poetry. I thought the reason Jackson was around was kind of corny. I still loved the poetic-way of how the book told Ava's tale and it kept me reading it. I liked how it finished and how Ava was different as a character by the last line. The poetry is beautiful, the metaphors are equally beautiful.

My Thoughts (contains spoilers): Spoiler time! First off, what was Jackson thinking? Jumping off a cliff like a crazy person. No siree, that's not for me. Second, the Lyric bit was predictable (at least for me). I feel kind of bad for Ava's friend (I think her name is Jessa?) but in the end Lyric doesn't sweep Ava off her feet. He was cute as a character although I never wanted Ava to become romantically involved with him because I still wanted Jackson to come back. I wish Jackson could come back. Nick was weird, acting all nice when he had cheated on Ava. Ava's friends were like down-to-earth real friends which was cool. I hope Ava can move on from this tragic event and stop blaming herself. Overall it was good, but the thing is is that it was just that: good... nothing higher.
