The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver
5.0
This book was a hard one to read. Not only because this book has some pretty heavy topics in it but also because it's very relatable to what I'm going through right now.
This book's portrayal of grief is accurate and painful but in a good way. It made me feel seen, and I think that alone is something I really cherish about this book. I liked how the main character Liam is going through many different forms of grief, obviously the grief of their brother, but also the grief of a lost friendship.
I do have some criticisms because that's how I roll. For example, I think Liam can be a little too judgemental, especially when it comes to Marcus.
But honestly, the criticisms I have of this book cannot compare to the feelings this book gave me. It made me cry hard in the end. I think this book could help other people who are going through similar things, even if it only makes you feel seen.
It might not be for everyone, but I do highly recommend it.
This book was a 5/5⭐️ experience for me.
