The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver
4.0
I just want to start this review with some trigger warnings. This book deals with mental health, grief, death and attempt at self harm.
I was so hesitant to jump into Mason Deavers Sophmore novel. I loved I Wish You All the Best so much, as someone who identifies as Genderqueer, it means so much to me. It was the first book I read where I felt seen and understood. It's also a book I happily recommend to everyone.
However, The Ghosts We Keep did not disappoint.
I really related to Liam. When I was 12 years old I lost my Grandmother, who was basically my 2nd Mother. I never knew grief until then and it made me spiral out of control, I became someone I didn't recognise and this is exactly what happens with Liam. They don't understand how to process their feelings and emotions and it makes them do things that they usually wouldn't do. Grief is a complex thing.
Mason Deaver handled the topic of grief and mental health so well. I will happily recommend this one to people as well.
