The Book
20 year old college student Janet lives a quiet life in with her spectral roommate Paul. And the more she tries to withdraw, the more the world pushes back. Freya, Janet’s pushy friend, is always setting her up on blind dates, and the most recent (successful) date creates far more turmoil for Janet than happiness. Strangely, it’s the things the fledgling couple have in common that keep them apart. Will their pasts haunt them forever or will they find a way to heal their festering romance?

The Review
This book made me laugh out loud a couple of times. I found it to be very charming and I loved watching the festering romance develop over the course of the story. The characters have ghosts in their closets (literally) and find that it is impossible to move forward until they can get rid of what they are holding on to. I thought this grapic novel was very well done. I really enjoyed the artwork, and the insight into 20-something dating was spot on.
The Characters
Janet: A 20-year-old college student majoring in Illustration at the local art university. Somewhat neurotic and reclusive.
Paul: Janet’s best friend. Paul has known Janet since they both were kids. Oh yeah, and he’s a ghost.
Freya: Perhaps Janet’s closest female friend. AKA The Thorn in Janet’s Side.
Derek: Janet meets Derek through a blind date set up by Freya. He seems like a pretty normal and easygoing guy at first, but things never end up being that simple for Janet.
Carol: An intimidating girl from Derek’s past. What exactly was their relationship?
