This book is a sad and tragic book about the loss of Nate, Essi's twin brother, and the truth about how he died. I liked how it was written as a collection of poems. The book is about grief, survivor's guilt, and moving on after the loss of a loved one. Each character was connected to Nate in a different way and thus, grieving in a different way. I found it insightful to show the various ways that grief affects a person and how it can be different for everyone.

Trigger warning: death & grief

Ghost Runner is a sad and full of grief collection of poems written as verse, dealing with the death of Nate, Essi's twin brother. The collection shows the sadness and pain felt by his family, how each of them blames themselves and others for what happened. At the same time, the collection deals with the continuation of life and the struggle for the truth of how Nate actually fell from the bridge. I like this way of storytelling and that the poems are short but say a lot.

Content warning for death and grief.
