This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
5.0
You were you and I was me and there was this thing between us.
This book was incredible. I dragged out reading it because I didn't want it to end. The story flowed easily but I could easily see it going in other directions, familiar directions. But grief doesn’t do that. Grief isn't the expected or familiar. It doesn’t take you by the hand and lead you down a story you've read before. It's not a ghost story. At least not the one you expect. I felt all of it. I loved it. It was almost visceral.
Poor Brimley.
Also the line about ripping wallpaper off your skull? Ugh. Incredible
