I have never cried so much in a book with a happy ending. I loved this book, the characters, the ending. It was all perfect. I was expecting a silly little rom com about a woman who can see ghosts and instead I got a very real exploration of grief and loss and what it looks like to put one’s self back together after difficulties.
I really liked the prose in this book and the author did a great job capturing not only what the character was feeling but that unexplainable part of grief that is so hard to dive into. Some of the lines in this book were just fantastic.
I loved both the main characters. They felt complete and full, and I was rooting for them every step of the way. You know you are going to get a HEA but man, the author really makes you earn it.
Loved this book, loved what it made me feel and what it made me think about and how it was some how cute at the same time. Not your average rom com but loved it for that.

It was cute, and if you’re looking for an easy going contemporary romance with a cute little twist I would recommend. HOWEVER, I will warn you it definitely made me cry.
The writing in this novel was fantastic and the plot was really thought out. The concept was really sweet, and reminded me a lot of a reverse Just Like Heaven.
However, I felt like there was not a lot of romance in it for a romance novel. (I am not talking spice, just simply the romance aspect.) A lot of the plot was heavily focused on the FMC’s grief/healing over loss of a family member. The payoff was good but VERY short lived.

I'm so glad I read The Seven Year Slip first. It's similar in structure to this one, but done better. Is this what people really think millennials are like??

10 out of 5*s!! GO READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!
If you're thinking, what should I read next? Pick this. If you're thinking you should read "insert title here", toss that book to the side & read this instead. This book was so freaking good I hate that I didn't pick it up sooner but am so excited that I finally got the chance to read it. I love love loved this book, the characters, the storyline, the narrators for the audio. My God I felt every freaking feeling in this book. You're going to laugh, and cry, and feel love like you've never felt. I read so much & never feel like books hit me in the emotions, but this did it. I felt them all & now I need to recover from it.

Really surprised by how much I loved this - not usually my genre but I ended up devouring this in a day. The family and funeral home parts were so delightful quirky and heartwarming all at the same time. I was expecting it to go creepy or dark but it didn’t at all. I loved the love story and happy ending. I also really loved the mother character. Would have been a 5 star read for me if not for the two sex scenes and some sexual language throughout - not for me. But overall, very happy I took a chance on this one, it was such a fun way to spend the day.
