Loved this story of Lark and Callum.
Between grief, joy, self-deprecation, love…
They are both soft, simple and complicated at the same time.
I had to add that I LOVE Ireland and Irish people. ❤️ when he speaks to her in Irish Gaelic, my heart melted… several times.

Slow burn and friends to lovers is such an exquisite combination. I loved every bit of this book that somehow managed to successfully combine cozy vibes with the raw reality of grief and loss. I honestly was a little annoyed by Lark in the beginning because, like Callum, the idea of someone enthusiastically initiating small talk gives me hives. I quickly was smitten with her, however, and I enjoyed the story of her and Cal finding their way together.

An extreeeeemely slow burn friends to lovers story. Very sweet, the ending maybe felt a tiny bit rushed after the long build up? I liked it, but didn’t feel very connected to Lark, the FMC.
I did love Callum though, a gentle and sweet (maybe demisexual?) undertaker with a stammer. Also enjoyed the forearm appreciation!
A few steamy scenes later in the book too 🌶️

Lark is grieving her husband and moved to Ireland to embrace life again. Little did she know that she moved right next to a funeral home. Callum, owner of the family undertaking business can only carry on their legacy under one condition: he must need to marry before his 35th birthday.
The first time Lark meets Callum I knew I would enjoy this book very very much. The humour was spot on and I was chuckling on my couch.
Callum is so adorable and I have no idea how you can't fall in love with him?! He was so sweet and the Irish dirty talk was so well done!
Lark is the complete opposite of Callum but she also is such a beautiful and joyful character even though the sudden death of her husband totally broke her.
The book is the spiciest I have read so far but it was so well done and I enjoyed it a lot! It felt very mature and natural and the MCs had a lovely dynamic.
This is a recommendation for all you romance lovers out there! It's duo POV, strangers to friends to lovers, demisexual & disability rep. and shows that love is possible again after losing someone you love.

Morbidly Yours, a story about an American widow and an Irish mortician, made me cry and left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
Callum and Lark are complete opposites on paper, she's a bubbly American who just moved to Ireland for her new job and he's an extremely shy mortician who lives and works next door. Even though their connection is instantaneous they decide their relationship can only ever be platonic. Lark is still grief-stricken and guilt-ridden over the loss of her husband and is not looking for romance. Callum on the other hand is in desperate need of a wife if he wants to keep his family business and he only has nine months to find one.
Callum and Lark soon develop a wonderful friendship in which they support and take care of each other in the sweetest manner. Lark’s friendship helps Callum step out of his comfort zone, which he hope will also help him find a bride. However, it's not long before their growing attraction leads to very real feelings and throws a wrench in their friends only policy.
Morbidly Yours was a beautiful, and surprisingly emotional, love story and I loved every word of it. I cannot wait to see what is next for Ivy Fairbanks after such a fantastic debut.

ugh, i wanted this to hit for me but it fell short, which makes me sad because i LOVE this cover, the tropes, and the title soooo much. there were moments i was really invested, but they didn't come until like 60-70% in. i started to get really irritated with the tiptoeing around what happened to lark's husband, and then the reveal??? just made me want to throw my kindle. not my favorite, but it wasn't horrible either.
