Inspired by The Lovely Bones (Alice Sebold). Thank you to my friend for writing the blurb.
'They keep looking for me. I keep watching them look. This is not a ghost story. It's a love story, shaped like a bruise.'
When fourteen-year-old Emily Hart is tragically lost in a quiet accident no one saw coming, her absence echoes through the lives of those she left behind - her parents, drifting in grief; her older sister, angry and aching; and a boy who never really knew her, but somehow found her anyway.
From somewhere in the in-between, Emily watches the world carry on without her - messy and raw. As her family searches for meaning in the silence she left behind, Emily begins to understand that letting go isn't forgetting, and that sometimes love lingers in the smallest, quietest places.
Told with haunting tenderness and quiet urgency, This Is Not A Ghost Story is a story about grief, memory, and the invisible threads that tie us to one another - even after we're gone.
