This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
4.0
challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

the first chapter emotionally wrecked me. it was so sad and beautiful at the same time. was not expecting it and that tone remains in many parts throughout the book

then it becomes more dark (which is what I was actually expecting) and, even it took me some time, I got really interested in the unfolding of the story

the development of the story is classical and there are many (good) clichés, but the driving force of everything is original and it feels realistic in our current days
