I really liked this book. I loved the fun characters especially Ben and Florence. I like how the author wrote about grief and how it death isn't always a sad thing but a celebration of living. While I did guess part of the plot, I still really enjoyed reading the Dead Romantics and it just made me happy. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ashley Poston's books.
This book was everything. It had me kicking my feet, it made my laugh and cry (a lot). I absolutely adored the romance in this. Ben and Florence have my whole heart! But the side characters, the Day family especially were so eccentric and lovely. I loved the surprise twists in the book and the incredible ending. My heart is so happy after reading this book!!

This novel was a joy and a delight to read. The narration was excellent. The characters were well thought out, funny, and authentic. It’s a lighthearted story though it does center around death of a father, so watch for that if you’re feeling sensitive to it. It’s a wonderful tale about honoring love and our loved ones, of returning to a hometown with a complicated history, of hoping for healing. The town is its own character and I adore when that happens.
I would rate 3.5, even 3.75 but overall a cute book. The things that were not my favorite in the book I feel are more personal than something being “bad”. I found that some quotes really hit home, but pacing and movement in the book were off to me. I found it a cute read and I know several of my friends who I know will LOVE it but this was not my favorite but glad I read it.
