One thing I really loved about this book is the fact that every single character, item, word, even every animal is important to the plot.

Though they spend their days in treatment, the group gathers at night to form “The Midnight Club,” wherein they toast their peers who’ve passed and talk openly about communication from beyond the grave. So what’s the story behind all the scares? Set in the '90s, The Midnight Club follows a squad of terminally ill teens, living together in a hospice center called Brightcliffe.
