I have never cried so much in a book with a happy ending. I loved this book, the characters, the ending. It was all perfect. I was expecting a silly little rom com about a woman who can see ghosts and instead I got a very real exploration of grief and loss and what it looks like to put one’s self back together after difficulties.
I really liked the prose in this book and the author did a great job capturing not only what the character was feeling but that unexplainable part of grief that is so hard to dive into. Some of the lines in this book were just fantastic.
I loved both the main characters. They felt complete and full, and I was rooting for them every step of the way. You know you are going to get a HEA but man, the author really makes you earn it.
Loved this book, loved what it made me feel and what it made me think about and how it was some how cute at the same time. Not your average rom com but loved it for that.

Really surprised by how much I loved this - not usually my genre but I ended up devouring this in a day. The family and funeral home parts were so delightful quirky and heartwarming all at the same time. I was expecting it to go creepy or dark but it didn’t at all. I loved the love story and happy ending. I also really loved the mother character. Would have been a 5 star read for me if not for the two sex scenes and some sexual language throughout - not for me. But overall, very happy I took a chance on this one, it was such a fun way to spend the day.

This book has been on my physical TBR for almost 2 years and I finally read it! You know when you’re waiting to read a book because you just know you’re going to love it and you want to savor it? Yeah, that was me with this book. This was SO GOOD and I’m actually glad that I waited until now to read it, because I don’t know that I would have appreciated it as much 2 years ago. The narration for this audiobook is also *chef’s kiss* so props to the narrator!

One of the best books I’ve ever read- excellent plot twists, charming setting, strong characters, incredible main characters with amazing witty banter, LGBT+ representation (supporting characters), iconic Bestiehood, insightful, inspiring, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once!
