Never Have I Ever meets The X-Files in this gender-bent contemporary retelling of the Jane Austen classic Northanger Abbey.

Hattie Tilney isnā€™t a believer. Yes, sheā€™s a senior at Americaā€™s most (allegedly) haunted high school, Northanger Abbey. But after her paranormal-loving dad passed away, she hung up her Ghostbusters suit, put away the EMF detectors, and moved on. She has enough to worry about in the land of the livingā€”like taking

care of her younger brother, Liam, while their older sister spirals and their mother, Northangerā€™s formidable headmistress, buries herself in work. If Hattie just tries hard enough and keeps that overachiever mask on tight through graduation, maybe her mom will finally notice her.

But the mask starts slipping when Hattieā€™s assigned to be an ambassador to Kit Morland, whoā€™s just transferred to Northanger onā€”what elseā€”a ghost-hunting scholarship. The two are paired up for an investigative project on the schoolā€™s paranormal activity, and they quickly strike a deal: Kit will present whatever

ghostly evidence he can find to prove that the campus is haunted, and Hattie will prove itā€™s not. But as they explore the abandoned tunnels and foggy graveyards of Northanger, Hattie starts to realize that Kit might be the kind of person who makes her want to believe in somethingā€”and someoneā€”for the first time.

With her signature wit and slow-burn romance, Amanda Quain turns another Austen classic on its head in this sparkling retelling that proves sometimes the ghosts are just a metaphor after all.
