I liked this much more than I expected to. The FMC was fun and interesting and the love story was sweet and untraditional in a good way.

Ok… I devOURED this book! 4 ⭐️ I could NOT stop reading. The story was interesting and inventive. The only reason it’s not completely 5 stars for me is because… it definitely had some cheesy parts that made me think “what am I reading??” or made me roll my eyes. At the same time, there were also parts that made me smile from ear to ear and laugh.
I will totally end up re-reading this book in the future and I am so glad I picked it up.

Edit: I originally said this was a 4.5 but I am always so happy after I read books. Since the writing was more of a 3 star and the story was closer to a 5, I feel like 4 stars is more accurate.

This was completely unexpected for me. I didn’t know much about this book other than I was a romance and a few ppl on tik tok liked it. But this was about so much more than I originally thought. It was about the beauty wrapped up in death, grief, losing faith in love and finding it in unexpected places, and so much more. I really really enjoyed this.

emotional funny medium-paced

Florence Day thinks romance is dead, which is super inconvenient given she’s the ghostwriter for a famous romance novelist. When family tragedy draws her home and instead of the ghost of her father she finds the ghost of her young, handsome editor, they’re both confused about the purpose of his visit. Is she meant to help him move on by finishing her overdue book or is he meant to help her believe in love again?

A tale of learning when to let go and when to hold on and living without regrets. It’s like if ghost, midnight library, and beach read had a baby, this would be it. It had me literally sobbing near the end, mostly over her dad. My only qualm was that I was nearly halfway through the book before things got going. There is a long exposition “setting the scene” aka explaining Florence’s trauma.

You think you’re not going to get the happy ending you want but don’t worry, it finds you.
