review 1: I really liked this book but I did have some nit-picky issues with it. It starts out great, we learn about Taylor and her move to a new town and the people she meets. There's some great atmosphere with the ghostly locations and we get to see Taylor and Raine interact on their ghost tours. But then, things get sappy. Taylor has this huge conflict with how she killed her best friend and it just drags the rest of the story down. We lose the creepy ghost encounters and focus on Taylor's baggage. And can we lose the drama of having a single kiss change lives (for better or worse). And now that the book is over I have all these random questions about the mundane things that happen in Taylor's life. I feel somewhat unresolved and slightly irritated. This book could have ... morebeen half as long if Taylor had just looked in the glove box. Then we could have had more ghosts!
review 2: If you are looking for a story with ghosts but isn't really scary then this is the perfect book to read. In Phantom Summer Taylor feels so guilty over her best friends death because she believes she caused the accident that killed him. Taylor decides to move away and try to forget all about her old life. She moves in with her mom and her life is getting better until she starts to believe in ghosts because she sees one for herself one day. That makes is hard for her to move on and be happy with Raine, the handsome ghost tourist guide she meets. I loved the characters especially Raine and Margaret. The ending was alright but I felt like there needed to be just a little more. I really liked this book but it's missing something I'm just not sure what so because of that I would give it 4 and a half stars. Actually more like four and three fourths if that's even possible (but yes it's possible because that's what I decided)! less
