5.0

I loved this book! Grief combined with the talent of being able to see ghosts led to such a unique story.  

Our mc is a ghostwriter ironically and it followed her seeing her editor as a ghost while away at her dads funeral.  

The love at first sight enemies to lovers style romance arc was so well written and with such a unique development with the male mc being a ghost for the majority of the book. 

Ultimately though I was so glad to see a happy ending in the end. And loved how it was written overall

4.0

A sweet book that looks a little closer at death and how it fits into our lives. The romance was quirky in a charming way, once it got off the ground. Initially the interaction between the two main characters didn’t make a ton of sense to me (kissing for no reason in an alley???) but once the FMC went to her hometown the relationship made much more sense. Overall I liked it a lot.

consider this DEVOURED

I loved it

and even though there were a few romance-trope things that normally tick me off, they were done so well that I wasn't even slightly annoyed, like not even at all (and that is saying something for me)

and the ending!

even though I had wished that he stayed dead and their relationship didn't go much farther than that, I did not find myself that upset that he lived. at least he did not wake up madly in love with her at the hospital

as much as it is very much a romance book, Poston was able to bring a real-life feel to it as well that I have not seen in many rom-coms I have read

very much would recommend, 10/10, boots the house down yass

3.0

It was slow at the beginning but once it took of i was unable to put it down. Lovely story and idea, but it just missed something for me. Everything came too easy to a solution… which I am okay with, but in this case the possibilities and the build up were so high that it kind of left me a bit disappointed. Still, overall a good read. Trigger warning lots of talk about death and lots of grievance.
