Review: Short and Sweet
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet, like the book is.Like I said, this story is a really sweet one. I was rooting for Violet and Zane the entire way and was pleased with how their journey progressed. Those two added to the cute and funny factor that made the book extremely easy to read, and quickly. There were, however, moments where I had to put the book down--not because of something bad, but because I literally had to roll over on my bed where I was reading to laugh. The embarrassing moments Violet had to endure! They were hilarious.Now, for the not so funny side: I didn't like the writing very much. I actually spent at least the first twenty percent thinking the final rating would turn out to be two or three stars. I was irritated by a lot of the random thoughts Violet was having and the annoying tone they had. After that first part, though, the story got so interesting that I didn't notice much of annoying about the writing (except for the some grammar errors). I was just caught up in the story and didn't want to put my kindle down. It wasn't until the epilogue that I noticed it again. For some reason, I really don't like endings that both seem picture perfect and that do the whole "where they are now" type thing.Overall, though, Falling for the Ghost of You was a fantastic, quick, fun, romantic read. It's a book that many fans of chick lit would enjoy.Something you should know:I tend to like YA contemporary books with dark elements, so I'm not as big of a fan of light chick lit as many are.
