Was the Ghost Real?

First of all, let me say that I loved Invisible Ghosts.  I thought it was beautiful and tragic and hopeful.  And the characters were so well developed.  I just saw a patron checking out this book tonight at work and I went on and on and on and on....I know she will love it, too.  I also encouraged her to read others by Robyn Schneider as I think she just gets better and better. 
The one thing I am wondering is, was the ghost of Logan real?  I don't know!  But it doesn't matter.  I think that since Jamie could see him, too, he probably was real, but then I don't know.  I just loved this book!  And I will be thinking about it and recommending it for a long time to come. 

SPOILERS THE DOG DOES DIE - but still good!

I make no apologies for spoiling dead dog stories, however, The Beginning of Everything wasn't ruined for me.  Unlike My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece this death of a pet didn't seem cheap and sensational and over the top.  Even though it happens in a very violent way here.  This was a good book.  It took me a little while to get into it and the ending was not the way I wanted it to be, yet probably has it needed to be.

Extra Good

Extraordinary Means was very, very good.  I don't know much about TB.  But in EM there is a renewed outbreak of it, but this isn't a futur-y type book.  It is about relationships and love and making the most of the time that one has here on God's earth while one can.  People will compare this to TFIOS, but I liked it better, I think.  And I loved TFIOS.  But I think it is different enough to not be a copy-cat, maybe just inspired by?  Or maybe not even!  In any case, liking TFIOS might make one like this, but if one didn't like TFIOS, one could still really enjoy this.
