I picked up this book because I was looking for a supernatural horror and even though it wasn't as terrifying as I hoped it would be, I liked the story more than I thought I would. What impressed me were the realistic thoughts and emotions the protagonist went through in his grief, like a real account of someone going through the pain of losing a loved one. The "ghost" acted as a symbol to further illustrate the image of grief.
I highly recommend This Thing Between Us to anyone who has or is currently navigating through their grief because its commentaries on death and the story's main allegory of grief are deeply validating and relatable.
