From the author of If I Can Give You That comes an emotional novel that follows a transgender teen who must grapple with a friendship fracturing and a new romance blossoming, all while being haunted by a devastating loss. A must-read for fans of How It Feels to Float and The Ghosts We Keep.

Caleb’s world broke the day his brother died of a drug overdose. Now in the throes of grief, Caleb hardly ever sees his friends anymore, and school isn’t much better. He’s on the verge of failing his songwriting class, never mind that music used to be his greatest passion. Even Tanya, his best friend, is growing tired of trying to push him back into his life.

But perhaps most concerning of all: A black cat has been following Caleb around…a cat that only he can see. A cat that may just be a ghost.

Then Caleb is assigned a songwriting partner in class: Emmett, the nonbinary lead singer of a local punk band. The cat takes a liking to Emmett—and maybe Caleb does, too. As they write together, Caleb begins opening up about his grief, and the two realize they have more in common than expected. Now Caleb will have to decide if he is ready to heal with Emmett’s help—or recede in life and become as invisible as the ghostly cat at his heel.

"Everything has felt wrong since Caleb's brother died, so when he sees a black cat that seems off, he doesn't think anything of it. But when he looks closer, the cat doesn't appear to have a clear face. It looks like it's been smudged out. And he keeps following Caleb around. Haunting him. So Caleb calls him Ghost. Caleb is trying to return to a normal life, but he can't stop feeling distant and numb. Even being assigned to work on a school project with Emmett, the lead singer of a punk rock band, just feels like another blip. But as Caleb's feelings for Emmett grow, so does the distance he has put between himself and his best friend, Tanya. Can Caleb stop running from his grief in order to save his friendship and discover Ghost's true purpose?"--Publisher description.
