Anyone's Ghost by August Thompson
4.0

A slow burn novel which gets beneath the skin. Anyone’s Ghost is the story of Jake and Theron, told from the point of view of Theron. From the off we know that Jake is dead. Having being involved in three car crashes, the third of which killed him. Told in three main sections, the story follows how they met one summer, how they reconnected years later, and the time around and after Jake’s death. A story of friendship, love, sexuality and masculine expectations. Tinged with sadness throughout, it’s  an emotional and gritty read.
