It turns out her near death experience brought her one other goodie too - a hot doctor with an interest in Nicki that goes well beyond professional.

The romance side of the story is really quite refreshing since it isn't based on two characters who immediately hate each other with a sex charged passion (yes, I am tired of those), nor does it spin on romantic conflicts based on stupidity (you won't find yourself yelling - just talk to him, stupid!). The bad ghost bits are spooky and tense, just the way I like them. Garey does a nice job with Nicki's sassy voice, and Nicki's over-the-top gay friend, Evan, is a hoot (even if just the eensiest bit stereotypical.) The pace of the story is brisk, making it a great light read. This book may not be deep and meaningful, but it's fast and fun, which is the kind of reading ride I like best.
