Not Quite a Ghost by Anne Ursu

5.0

I have never found a story that so thoroughly captures my experience. I was a sick kid with a cryptic illness, just like the mc, and I too went through many doctors before anyone figured out what was wrong with me. This is such a beautiful story because it is so honest and raw about the middle school experience PLUS how isolating and scary it is to not know what's wrong with you, to be told you're making it up. Hidden disabilities and chronic illnesses really do feel like a haunting spectre trying to steal your body. I feel like I'm holding hands with this author through the pages and giving them a little squeeze, it feels nice to be understood
