Ghosting You


From the fabulous author (Alexander C. Eberhart) of "Lock & West" as well as "There Goes Sunday School" is the amazingly fabulous and totally heartbreaking "Ghosting You.

["Tommy hears dead people. Okay, one dead person. His best friend, Chase. Since his death, Tommy can’t stop hearing his voice. They talk every day and Tommy even sends him texts, but it always ends the same. Message failed to send. Until one day, a stranger texts back.

Getting stuck in nowhere Georgia was not on Nick’s summer agenda, but a horoscope, a chance encounter, and a cute boy has things looking up. There’s just one problem, the boy hates him. When a broken phone leaves him with a new number, Nick is ready to write off the entire summer as a loss. But then he receives a strange text.

When Tommy and Nick’s worlds collide, the attraction is instant, but Tommy just can’t let Chase go. Can Nick use his status as Tommy’s anonymous stranger to break down his defenses or is Nick destined to live in a love triangle with a ghost?
"]

Alexander totally played around with POV and texting fics and the idea of ghosts/ghosting people and it was fucking fantastic.

I saw the one plot twist happening, but that's, again, because Alexander really set up some amazing clues for it (and because it was the wickedly beautiful thing that I would have done).

Even thought this book is only available on the Kindle/e-readers, you need to go read it. Like now. Like yesterday. Because, as per his other totally contemporary, break-out, honest novels, this book was...it left me speechless. And soooooooo incredibly happy.

Trigger Warnings: homophobia, transphobia, violence, extreme anxiety, depression, cancer, suicidal thoughts, etc
