When she gets an anonymous email from “Somebody Nobody” claiming to be a male student at her school and offering to act as her “virtual spirit guide,” Jessie is suspicious but desperate enough to accept the offer of help. Through a series of text and emails where she gets to know Somebody Nobody, she discovers she has plenty in common including the loss of a loved one.<br /><br />Though this book uses several familiar YA tropes such as a jealous, mean-girl antagonist, an easily identified secret admirer, and a teen girl who is oblivious to how pretty she is, I still found this book captivating. The writing is deft and the authentic depiction of grief made for well-rounded, emotionally deep characters.<br />AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014693617353468896noreply@blogger.com
