 A lovely exploration of loss, grief, and belief through the eye of a teenage girl who can talk to ghosts. Beautifully written with asexual and nonbinary rep.
Carry a tissue box around with you for this one.

Funeral Girl is a very dark and reflective work about anxiety, understanding mortality, and depression. It was a little darker than I realized but it really fit the way the story was being told. I really enjoyed Georgia and Milo’s connection, and appreciated their growth together. 

It makes me think of They Both Die at the End meets Dear Even Hansen.
