Falling for the Ghost of You was a really cute and light read, though it didn't have much depth in my opinion. While I did like Violet because she was just hilarious and spontaneous (you never knew what she was going to say), I did get tired of her constant jealousy. It got pretty annoying and almost bordered on psycho.
Zane was a nice guy, but I felt he was just, like, blah. There was nothing super special about him besides his secret, which is really not a terrible secret at all, even though the author made it seem like it was going to be. I don't know why, but my first thought was that it would be that Zane is the president of some porn company. I know, I know, you're probably thinking"why would you think that?" but really it's not that much of a stretch: He had a (different) girl over almost every night and flirted or was "friendly" with other girls while he was with Violet...ok so maybe that's not much evidence, but my mind still went that way. I also like my males to be more intense and dominant, but Zane was just very care free and honestly not too interesting besides being super good looking. Meh.
And the big secret came out of no where. There were absolutely no hints dropped about what it could be, so when we find out what the big secret is, all I could think of was that it was completely out of left field. I felt like I was all of a sudden reading a different book.
Also, I have to agree with the reviewer who said that she would have liked a little more explicitness during sexy time. It's just that on top of the whole book being kind of bland, the sex scenes (or rather lack thereof) were also very obscure and not at all descriptive. So yea, I guess that sums up my feelings about the book: it was pretty bland
If you're looking for a light, quick read, this might be the book for you. But if you're looking for something more thrilling or perhaps with a little more depth, I would look somewhere else.
