This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
3.75
dark emotional sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The main character is not likable. It is a mix of sci-fi and horror where grief is actually the main character and not Thiango. Thiango, his mother in law, his step father in law are all in a complicated relationship in their grief. They need each other, but don't want each other for support, which is the real part of the book. Then there is the sci-fi and horror in there with a demon possessed Alexa (?). Weird plot driven book with addressing the need to honor and cope with our grief.
