Independent reading book response

     The book I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa schroeder is basically about a 15 year old girl that loses her boyfriend in a horrible accident. A little while after her boyfriends funeral she begins to see his ghost around her house. Except it wasn't just a ghost. It was actually him, in spirit. He would write her letters , in lipstick on her mirror. And make the television turn on to let her know he was there. 
     The girl, Ava, never wants to leave the house, because she doesn't want to be away from her boyfriend Jacksons spirit, that only arrives in her home. The structure of the book is beautiful, its like mini poems put together to make a story. The poetic language bring so many emotions with this book. It really is great! Getting back to plot, I notice how Ava is almost , not really her self around anyone. She has Jackson always on her mind. And it seems like, in Ava's mind, Jackson is all she needs. She doesn't even seem "real" with her own dad.
     In conclusion, this book left me in tears more than once. The way the Ava and Jackson are together, they love each other unconditionally. Often that word, unconditionally isn't correct for some relationships. But, for Jackson and Ava's . It really is true, Ava still loves Jackson even though he isn't living. This book is a MUST read !!! it's really touching, and despite what you may think about all the good and happy sounding things I have said about it. Just like in any relationship, couples fight unconditionally as well.
