"Twelve-year-old Lily moves to a creepy old house in a Florida swamp and finds out that the house isn't empty: it's packed full of the previous occupants' trash, keepsakes, and, Lily begins to suspect, maybe even their ghosts"--

She was not throwing away her shot, but she was throwing away pretty much everything else.

I received a galley of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 


I felt a bit dissapointed by this book. I just think most of this book felt like I was still in the introductory stages. I would have liked it if we got a bit more explenation a bit earlier in the book. In the book it's constantly hinted that something happened in Colorado, which was the cause they moved away and that Lily was behind that. However, it doesn't actually get revealed what happened until like the very end and I think this book would have benefited A LOT if we know this from the beginning. It just helps us understand Lily and her situation a lot more. But overall I just feel like not a whole lot happened in this book. There were some moments were I felt like this book had some great creepy vibes (if I read this when I was younger this book would have 100% freaked me out) but I feel like the feeling I had mostly throughout this book was boredom. I also hated Lily's parents in this book. They were terrible parents. The mom did kind of get redeemed a little bit but the dad is just a terrible human being and he annoyed me WAY too much throughout this book. So yeah, in conclusion: there's a couple of things in here that I quite liked but most of it was just underwhelming to me.
