I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU

Sarah Skaer's bubbly narration captures Natalie Nakada's delight at times spent with her best friend, Imogene. But all too soon, Skaer reveals Natalie's lingering grief a year after Imogene's death. Her feelings of loss cast a pall over her senior project, a retreat at one of their favorite places, the haunted Harlow Hotel. There Natalie hopes to film paranormal activity that will get her a TV audition. Skaer marks Natalie's disdain for her new classmate Leander Hall. But her feelings change when the two become sleuthing partners who are determined to debunk a local spiritualist. When odd coincidences upend Natalie's skepticism, Skaer reflects her confusion and fear. Skaer smoothly weaves past and present moments, as well as romance, a ghost story, friendship, and loss.
