The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver

5.0

I cried so much reading this. This book, more than anything, is sad. It hits you right in a deep place and makes the tears flow. And it's cathartic.

The plot was not what I was expecting. Based on the synopsis and Deaver's previous novel, I was expecting

it to be more of a rom-com than anything else. Instead, it's an exploration of the grief one experiences when losing a loved one so close to them

. But it's good. It's really, really good. Just make sure you have the tissue box ready.

TW: Suicidal thoughts, attempted self-harm
