I absolutely love this book! I love semi-fantastical stories and this did not disappoint. I love the romcom twist to a story on ghosts. I'm sure I will reread this story eventually because it was so fun and interesting. I would also like to read more from this author.

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.

It was the most refreshing and it had a way of dealing with different types grief. The book just flowed seamlessly. A little predictable but I loved it.

The last 40% of the book made up for the really slow start. I was getting a bit pissed off towards the start. Oh my god we get it Florence, he's 6'3 and sooo much bigger than you. And dead. This is such a pet peeve. But then it picked up when we got to the funeral mark and beyond. I really like how Ashley Poston tackles grief in her books - it was the same with the Seven Year Slip, I feel like she really accurately describes the waves in which it comes and goes. Benji is an excellent ghost boyfriend.
It was cliche enough that I kind of wished we had a ghost dad moment with Flo and Xavier but alas, I'm a sucker for these things.
