This was a wonderful mix of the dynamics of grief, family, friendship, and love. Although I predicted the ending, I was really invested and giddy by its conclusion. It was a joyful book in many ways, despite the heavy topics. The humor and hopefulness were used in perfect measure. It would be a great movie.

3.5 - another one where 3 is not enough but 4 seems excessive. 

This was very cutesy, but also sad. I actually dont really know where to go with this review. I mean the story was lovely - a heartbroken author struggling to find inspiration to write meets a handsome guy who suddenly dies and she is haunted by his ghost.. super predictable, I definitely picked that Ben had to be in a coma pretty early on - I must say though I absolutely hate that she didn't burst into the hospital room once she found out and instead lived in misery for 3 months... anyway. The ending was a lovely happily ever after and it definitely had me swooning.

I loved this book. The premise is very odd and if you have trouble suspending belief with magical realism/paranormal it might not be for you. But I laughed and giggled and I cried. This was such a beautiful story and one of my favorite romances I’ve read.

I haven’t been this happy reading a book in a long time.
Sobbed like a baby at one point but the pieces got put back together pretty quickly.
I love this story. It’s so different and quirky and has so many silly and heartfelt moments.
I could relate so much to the main character, as I am also a failed writer with a BA in English, and loved how she progressed.
Love love LOVED this book so much.
