Young adult
Everything happens for a reason.
At least that's what everyone keeps telling Liam Cooper after his older brother Ethan is killed suddenly in a hit-and-run.
Feeling more alone and isolated than ever, Liam has to not only learn to face the world without one of the people he loved the most, but also face the fading relationships of his two best friends in the process.
Soon, Liam finds themself spending time with Ethan's best friend, Marcus, who might just be the only person that seems to know exactly what they're going through-for better and for worse.
The Ghosts We Keep is an achingly honest portrayal of grief. But it is also about why we live. Why we have to keep moving on, and why we should.

3,5⭐️I think if I’d read this a few years ago, this book would have meant everything to me. Right now, at 25 years old, I felt a bit too distant from it.This is NO SPOILER:From the back of the book, I had gotten the conclusion that Liam and Marcus would end up together. Having that thought in the back of my mind kind of ruined the experience for me because the combination of the two just felt off if it had been more than friendship. So, I think it’s incredibly important for readers to know that THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY. It’s a beautiful story about grief, remembering but moving on and about finding comfort in people you wouldn’t expect to.I loved the writing, loved the deep conflict in the main character’s brain. The representation is stunning. I just wish we could have had some reference to other characters at the end. Now, it felt a bit too open and unresolved, but perhaps that’s exactly how Liam felt too.
