This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno

This was recommended to me via the Book Riots Tailored Book Recommendations.

I'm not sure about this one. It is well written, and highly quotable. It is a moving and unambiguous portrait of grief. Culturally I was able to relate to it.

It's weird. I usually like weird, but this one didn't do it for me. The weird seemed a bit too fanciful and contrived. The horror didn't really grip me. This is one I'll remember for its depiction of grief, putting so much in words that just seem hard to express when you are deeply entrenched in it. The movement of plot however, is fairly forgetable. Still, I can say I'm Glas I read this. I did take a lot away from it.
