This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
4.0
dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think this was an eerily beautiful way to encompass (at least in my opinion) the 5 stages of grief. Moreno successfully created a cinematic atmosphere that makes the reader feel like they're a character in the story, and there were definitely a few times when I needed to continue reading on due to genuinely feeling fear from what I just read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's a fan of the movie 'Smile,' and I can finally understand why so many people want this adapted by A24.
