Enjoyed this just as much when reread 4 years later. Why on earth have I not looked into more of this author's writing? Must remedy immediately.

Good ghost story with plenty of likable characters, interesting plot and romance.

3 stars. This was fun and I loved the paranormal aspects a lot. I just wish the characters and the romance had more depth. Natalie and Van fall for each other super quick, which was fine, but I didn’t buy into their relationship and why they even liked each other outside of the sex. Other than that, I did like some of the side characters, there were some creepy moments, and the writing was good. I’ll definitely check out something else by this author.

I don't usually care for romantic ghost stories, but, as a horror fan, one of the ghosts in this book was just unsettling enough to keep me interested. The living lesbians were much easier to get attached to than the ghost lesbians were. I guess the dead aren't deserving of the same character development as the living. The story is good, but even without the supernatural stuff, it requires a little too much suspension of belief.

Super nice to see an actual queer ghost story, where the ghosts as well as the contemporary characters are queer.
My one issue, and it really was uncomfortable, was the competiveness and cattiness of Vans past lovers. It was a poly developed element and reinforced the trope that women are in competition with each other for partners. It's a pretty gross thing that usually pops up in straight books rather than queer ones.
BUT I loved that the ghost story was steeped in queerness. And the generational connections were an interesting touch. I'm so glad they can rest together in peace.
