I expected it to be a horror novel, because, y'know, haunted cemetery, but it's not really scary at all. That's not to say that there aren't moments of intensity. There's some really heavy stuff in here surrounding the main character's mother's death, and the death of the ghost.
I think this one will appeal to teen readers who love a tragic, moody tale. Do take a look at the content warnings -- there's some stuff in here that could be inappropriate or a bit much for younger teens and tweens.

Although there's no play-by-play on-page sex scenes, there is some very frank discussion of sex, masturbation, and a couple of brief scenes/mentions of teens having sex under the influence of various substances. Animal death spoiler:
