The fourth book in the Weetzie Bat series finds us with Witchbaby again. She loves Angel Juan and he loves her but she loves him too much and he isn't ready for it. Angel Juan decides to leave. He wants to go to New York and make his own music instead of being in the band and being admired by Witchbaby.
However, after only one letter, Witchbaby becomes convinced that something is wrong. She decides to go to New York and find Angel Juan. Luckily, Weetzie has held on to her father's apartment since his death and there is somewhere for Witchbaby to stay.
New York doesn't go as planned though. Charlie, Witchbaby's ghosty-almost-grandpa, leads her through the city, making her see it through her camera lens. He wants her to discover herself and let Angel Juan go but Witchbaby was right to go because something IS wrong. The conclusion is a terrifying scene that is enough to set any reader on edge.
I like this book. It is sad and sweet and excited. It brings tears to my eyes and makes me wish for a Charlie Bat ghosty-almost-grandpa of my own.
