Young Adult Paranormal | Young Adult Romance

Holly doesn't have it easy. Her life may seem fine from the outside, but she is crumbling on the inside. She recently lost her boyfriend and has feelings for his former best friend. She worries after her grandfather who is sinking deeper into his Alzheimer's and she has an absent mother who is constantly working. Holly needs someone to lean on, who cares if that someone is her former boyfriend's former best friend?

Well, her former boyfriend may care for one. He has stuck around in ghost form, communicating with Holly's grandfather. It is interesting to watch his reaction and relive some of his memories with him. Jason, the best friend, is reliable and caring. It is easy to see why Holly would gravitate towards him. The reader will have to decide if one can betray someone beyond the grave.

Heather Davis writes very well from the vantage point of a teenager. The writing is realistic and the reader can imagine the characters saying the words and thinking. As Holly and Jason grow closer, ghostly Rob feels further away than ever before - will he finally see the light? Many readers will find certain scenes heartbreaking and others simply memories. WHEREVER YOU GO is a quick read, but a book the reader may want to pace themselves with. Through many different voices, author Heather Davis weaves a fascinating tale of love beyond the grave and what happens after.

SUMMARY

Seventeen-year-old Holly Mullen has felt lost and lonely ever since her boyfriend, Rob, died in a tragic accident. But she has no idea that as she goes about her days, Rob’s ghost is watching over her. He isn’t happy when he sees his best friend, Jason, trying to get close to Holly—but as a ghost, he can do nothing to stop it. As their uncertain new relationship progresses, the past comes back to haunt Holly and Jason. Her Alzheimer's-stricken grandfather claims to be communicating with the ghost of Rob. Could the messages he has for Holly be real? And if so, how can the loved ones Rob left behind help his tortured soul make it to the other side?
