Wow. This did make me sob profusely in the last 25 pages.

Eric has lost someone very close to him and while he navigates his grief, he runs into an old friend that brings him a bit of light and joy again. But no one else can see this friend… but him.

This was emotional and a really tough read at times. I did wish for more with the writing and heavier more advanced imagery and setting descriptions to match the heaviness of the topics discussed, but I did really enjoy this read and shoutout to the artist of this cover because COME ON. It’s earth shattering how beyond beautiful it is.
