Coming across this review on #bookstagram was like

Coming across this review on #bookstagram was like receiving a hug from a dear friend I hadn’t met yet. @thethrillerqueeen brought such empathy and insight to her reading of this book, she understood everything I’d hoped to convey and more. I’m honored to have readers like her enjoying, sharing, and discussing GHOSTS OF HARVARD. What a community of smart, compassionate readers we have here and offline! The connections formed thanks to books are why I read and why I write. To @thethrillerqueeen and all who have read, reviewed, and opened their hearts to Ghosts of Harvard, I’m forever thankful. 🙏💗

a throwback review for my favorite book of all time, 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐝 is in order. I read this in May and flash forward now to October, I’ve been seeing so many bookstagrammers reading it for spooky season and it makes my heart so happy because this book means a lot to me personally.

This is a special one and I truly feel like it spoke to my soul- it kind of decoded all the emotions I had regarding mental illness, the past, and grief that I had bottled up all these years and that were suddenly released into the world, as precious as ink on paper.

I had never cried so hard while reading a book. As a matter of fact, it felt cathartic, much like an exorcism of buried sorrow. I was not only immersed in the world of Serritella’s characters and her lyrical prose- I was living it.

From Cady’s bittersweet college life on campus looking for signs that could lead her to better understand her brother’s schizophrenia and suicide, to her kindness and bravery when it came to the ghosts and the voices inside her, to her own journey of self discovery and healing, I was hooked. This novel transcends genre classifications, as it is timeless and a masterpiece in its own right.

This book not only embraced the beauty of the unknown and how the universe has its secrets, but also offered a refreshing and vital approach to mental health, showcasing how grief and loss are meant to be shared in a million different ways, but that it is our memories that ultimately bind us indefinitely across time.

RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
