I loved, loved, loved this book. I think Ashley Poston writes really beautiful love stories with just a sprinkling of magic. This story was sweet, funny, sad, charming, and lovely all in equal measure.

It was a fund book to read. however the author had a tendency to repeat herself in a way that suggested she didn’t trust the reader to remember basic key details. i’m not sure if this was the result of missed cuts in editing or if it was intentional, but it took away from the enjoyment of the book. then, crucial moments of discovery were kind of glossed over and left out of the book.  this book has an interesting premise and good thematic potential, i just don’t think it reached it. the dialogue was very funny though and the characters were delightful.

A contemporary time-slip romance set in NYC's publishing and restaurant scenes and anchored by an inherited Upper East Side apartment  — what a great idea for a paranormal/magical realism story with a lot of heart and sense of place! I wish I had been more convinced by the romance. Insta-anything isn't my thing, so I had a hard time with this one even though I generally liked the characters. And, unfortunately, my lack of investment in the relationship left my brain free to think too critically about the rest of the plot. What I did like, besides the characters, however, was the portrayal of grief, and the thoughts about change, connection, and timing. (Don't skip the author's note.)

I absolutely loved this book.
Often when you love a book so much (The Dead Romantics), you have that fear that the next book by the same author won’t have that same magic as the last.

I had nothing to worry about!!! I adored the setting and the characters and the magic of it all. The serendipity and the way the story loops back on itself so neatly and satisfyingly. 

I loved that as well as love/romance, it’s a story about time, aging, coming of self, adventure, friendship, choosing yourself and mental health. 

I can’t wait to see what Poston writes next and I’m sad I’ve already finished this!
