Changes

As you'd expect, the popular girls are all bitches, the handsome boy turns out to be pretty decent, the scary goth girl is actually lovely and so there aren't really any surprises on that score. The dead characters are interesting however, with their peculiar quirky deaths and personal missions that they need to fulfil before 'moving on'. As I said, Charlotte is annoying, but the other characters help keep the story moving. The finale is a bit, well, unrealistic. I know that seems an odd thing to say for a book where the lead girl is dead and going around possessing people, but that much actually reads as believable somehow. The ending, however, was a bit more supernatural but not, I felt, entirely convincing. Although it's not a book I'd rave about, it did pass a few hours in an entertaining way.
