I must say that I didn’t know that it was a paranormal romance. I have intentionally kept away from the genre before. But I’m glad I started this book. It’s such a beautiful book. Relatable with the angst, betrayal, joy, love and turmoil. I had a hard time putting it down. There are holes in beginning of the story regarding their connections. But after just accepting it, it was easier to get swept away in their story. With Florence being a very well written character Benji becomes a bit flat in comparison.

emotional hopeful lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
This was cute!

A wholesome portrayal of grief & this actually had a pretty strong story/plot in my opinion. I don’t know that the writing/romance was always the strongest, but I honestly had a good time with this. 

This felt reminiscent of the movie Casper & the character Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. Yeah, it had a cliché solution for the love interest but it was very well executed. I was actually so happy that things worked out the way they did. What I enjoyed most about this book was how it dealt with loss of one's parent and that of losing hope of finding love. It was a cute story that made me tear up in a few parts.
