But how can things be normal when Lillian’s ghost is haunting her bedroom, pushing her to investigate the mysterious string of murders? Hannah’s just trying to understand why her friend self-destructed, and where she fits now that Lillian isn’t there to save her a place among the social elite. And she must stop thinking about Finny Boone, the big, enigmatic delinquent whose main hobbies seem to include petty larceny and surprising acts of kindness.

Paper Valentine is a hauntingly poetic tale of love and death by the New York Times bestselling author of The Replacement and The Space Between.
This book's intricate cover totally gripped me. Think of how much effort the designer must have gone through, putting the complex designs that go with the girl's dress, which is especially gorgeous. The heart in the middle completely suits the name, Valentine, don't you think? Also, the story line is completely intriguing. I've recently requested for it on Net Galley and hope that the publisher would approve it!
