Anyone’s Ghost by August Thompson is a debut coming-of-age novel that promises a story of love and friendship between two young men. 

While the premise is highly intriguing the novel fell short for me. I found myself struggling to continue the book despite wanting to know how everything ended up. The characters are definitely messy humans, and at times a bit unlikeable, so if that is not your thing I definitely wouldn’t recommend this for you. The book is very heavy literary fiction which could be why it takes a minute to get into it, but I felt the pacing was very slow and there were parts I found myself skimming or skipping over because of how they were drawn out. 

All in all this book is extremely well written and if you like literary fiction and are okay with very heavy storylines then this book might be for you!
