Dying Thoughts - First Touch

I wish I've had this book as a teen

Something I love about Joey's books is that she knows how to sound like a teen without sugarcoating a story. There is a lot of realism, no matter how fantastical the paranormal aspects may be. There is beauty in the supposed simplicity of the narrator's language. YA is not my go-to age category, but I can enjoy it when it's sincere.

Why 5 stars?
1. Did I put the book down?
No I didn't, and I listened to the ebook with a robotic voice reading it for me. It has to be good if I can't put down an ebook.

2. What about the characters?
I love Tara, and her Dad, and everyone in this story. They feel real. No need to say more.

What about the structure?
Good pacing, not a predictable structure. Joey knows how to do her mystery, and do it well.

4. The writing?
It is about a teen, it sounds like a teen, and it wasn't jarring, again, I'm listening with a robot screen reader.

5. Subjective points
Yes. If I say all the stuff I love about this novel I'd be dropping spoilers and I don't want to. So, yes.
