a certain slant of light by laura whitcomb

There's a good bit of sexual content, which, although never crude, might be something for which parents might want to prescreen for younger teens. Let's just say that not all ghosts haunt Girl Scout meetings, where we were taught to tread through the forest so as to leave as little damage as possible! That's a thought that was with me pretty much throughout the whole book! This is listed as a young adult novel, but it's one of the most adult ones I've come across and I wouldn't think of limiting this to a teenage audience. I found that part of the plot a bit rushed, not in terms of pacing but for the characters, and there were several times I found myself aghast at the lack of foresight shown by the main characters in some ways.

That's probably a mark of a great book but for myself I would have prefered just a little bit more info in a couple areas, but overall this was a great listen! This is very much a love story, so be warned to expect a bit of mush. The story felt fully fleshed out, and yet I was left wanting a bit more at the end. The prose is lovely and elegant, the story emotional, and once I got into this it was hard to stop listening. The two main characters are ghosts looking in on the living world, at first experiencing it without being noticed and later going unnoticed for what they really are. A Certain Slant of Light is a different slant on a ghost story, and I really enjoyed watching the way it progressed.
