I know a lot of us complain about Toronto, but here’s the thing… I love it. Underneath the grit, the dubious transit services, and the abundance of weed shops and Thai restaurants, there’s something kinetic and full of promise in this city. There’s amazing food, from a wide variety of cuisines, and there’s enough kitsch, glamour, and hominess to charm almost any of us. There’s art, and rich culture, and vibrancy.

I saw Funeral Songs for Dying Girls on a Halloween book display at my local library (which goes to show how long it can take me to finish a book). I saw that it was a young adult book about a girl who falls love with ghost, who happens to be another girl. I was immediately sold, first of all, I like reading books with sapphic protagonists, but also something about falling in love with a ghost fascinates me. Maybe it’s something about the idea of grieving someone whom you may have never met in life.
