The boys, however, are too drastically polar opposites. On the one hand we have Charlotte’s bereaved boyfriend David – a surfer looking hipster who wastes little time moving on, despite professing his love for her in his eulogy. And on the other we have Edison – long-time dead, pseudo goth whose murder ended a troubled life and who delights in teasing Charlotte. These two actually have a kind of Addam’s Family vibe about them in that the darker of the two is obviously made out to be the real good guy and the more socially normal one is obviously horrible.
The end of the book is clearly leaving a space for the next installment and I found myself slightly glad, not because I can’t wait to get my hands on part two, but because there was a lot left unresolved for Charlotte. I really hope that Cox intends to tie those ends up because this one was a great part one, but I really would have been disappointed if it were a standalone. Give it a read if you’re bored, but your money would be better spent buying it for your niece, daughter, cousin or (as Charlotte would say) whatever.
If this book appeals then you might aso enjoy:
