Bea is the new girl in town. Her father is a professor who's always on the move, and her mother seems to be sinking into a state of utter delusion. Her life at home is getting progressively worse, and being sent to a new school for her senior year isn't quite helping the matter.

That is, until she meets Jonah, a loner boy who hasn't had a friend for years. His peers refer to him as 'Ghost Boy', due to his general plae nature and his tendency to just blend in and observe.

Bea and Jonah hit it off, and go on all sorts of adventures. They share a hobby, listening to radio shows and calling in. They share pain, the want for more happiness out of life, the wanton want of love. And they find this in each other.

But things take a turn for the worse when Jonah becomes more and more reserved, pushing Bea out of a world that she worked so hard to get in.

This was a very good book, and it was very thought/emotion-prevoking.
