Half Dead & Fully Broken by Kevin Craig
4.0
I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
In Half Dead & Fully Broken, we follow a young boy called Carter who has a twin brother called Marcus who may look exactly like him but is his complete opposite in all other fields: popular, friendly, confident and so much more. He can do basically anything, but he isn't mean or arrogant about it. One day though, Marcus dies in a motorcycle accident and Carter is left alone, never being able to forget about his brother even for a second because he looks like him. Marcus shows up as a ghost, though, and tries to get Carter to help some people who are struggling with Marcus's death, and finally, Carter experiences love and friendship for the first time in his life.
This was a really good book in my opinion. It was fast-paced and the writing was very easy to follow. Despite the ghost aspect it did not really feel paranormal or anything at all, which I appreciated. I feel like the struggles of the kids were very well displayed but the book stayed a light-hearted read and didn't drag you down at all. So I think it was definitely a good book.
