Ghosts can't seem to keep their opinions to themselves. Seventeen-year-old Nate Shaw should know; he's been talking to them since he was twelve. But they aren't the only ones making his high school years a living hell. All Nate wants is to keep his secret and keep his head down until he can graduate. That is, until the new boy, James Powell, takes a seat next to him in homeroom. James not only notices him, he manages to work his way into Nate's life. But James has issues of his own. Between dead grandmothers and living aunts, Nate has to navigate the fact that he's falling in love with his only friend, all while getting advice from the most unusual places. Ghosts, bullies, first love: it's a lot to deal with when you're just trying to survive senior year.

My sweet gay babies and some lovably but overly opinionated ghosts! 
It's still such a cute book, always makes me happy when I reread it! Ghosts in books can add something extra to an otherwise ordinary storyline, and I love how Jennifer Cosgrove uses them to create both insight and humor. Like how David is psychically manifested of Jame's inner turmoil and inability to let go of his grief.

Such a perfect read for me right now! This is another one I finished in a few hours and it left me with all the warm fuzzy vibes you want a book to leave you with and I just was smiling through so many scenes. This is such a beautiful story about grief, family, relationships, and finding yourself and the people worth giving your time to! I loved how much heart is in it and especially on the family side with Nate's nana, aunt, and Jame's older brother. Nate my sweet Nate was such an awesome main character I loved his sarcasm as well as his vulnerability. I also really liked him and James together watching their friendship grow into something more gave me all the feels. I just love them when they finally got together I just wanted to squeal out loud with joy. The paranormal elements weren't confusing and added just another layer to this story that I enjoyed immensely. So happy I randomly came across this book can't believe it's a debut novel because everything flowed really well. This is such a wonderful and relatively short YA feel good story and I recommend it!!

Do you like LGBTQ+ books? Do you like cute books? Do you like ghosts? WELL. This book is for you!

I freaking adored this book. It was so cute. It was such a nice book to read right after Heartstopper. I feel like there are so many similarities. I loved this book. I just wish it was longer.

Nate and James are just the cutest. I just wish they would have gotten together earlier in the book. I feel like I didn’t get enough of their relationship together.

This book would have gotten a five star rating. There’s something that James is trying to figure out. He doesn’t believe something happened as an accident and he wants to try and prove that it wasn’t an accident. Unfortunately, this mysterious part of the book fell flat. I feel like it could have made this book longer and better.

This book is beautiful. I loved every second of it. I really want to read more of Jennifer’s books thanks to A Boy Worth Knowing. T

This is a book worth reading.
