Summary from Floris Books
Lily's already got plenty going on living with a moody teenage sister,
two feral brothers and a messy baby sister. Mum and Gran are stressed to
the max, both dads are out of the picture and the cats aren't exactly
pulling their weight. But when she starts getting mixed-up warnings not
to go on holiday to the tiny, safe Scottish island of Millport, her
summer just gets weirder and weirder.
The thing is, whoever's talking to Lily doesn't even seem to know she's doing it. If she's a ghost, she's not a very good one. And there's something about her that Lily finds awfully, spine-tinglingly familiar. . .

Nayu's thoughts
An engaging fun read involving the future and present
in a way which isn't as creepy as it sounds (or seemed). It's centred
around Lily's crazy family, who all have issues but love her in their
own way. It's a light read for when you need a laugh, with real life
issues mixed in with the funny humour. Lily is quite different to me,
making me intrigued by her choices. I wouldn't say they were always
sensible, but if I heard voices I'm sure I'd have acted illogically
at times. I hated putting the book down because I wanted to get to
the bottom of the matter! The truth is...not going to be spoiled by
me. Let's say it is a good plot twist and well worth the agonising
wait.
