The narrator is a ghost who died in a car accident and spends her after-life alternately helping people avoid life-ending accidents and shepherding their ghosts away from the scenes of their deaths. No moments of death are described in detail, only the occasional aftermath.jade13's review against another edition

This is a ghost/horror book. It can be dark, and for sensitive readers, triggering. There is death, ghosts/monsters/occult.matcha_cat's review

This is structured as a collection of short stories following one ghost's journey, woven together until the final tale is the culmination of everything that came before. As every ghost story has echoes and variations, these too have repetition in the framing but distinction in the details, with Rose's voice as a throughline. I like the cadence of the sections individually and the book as a whole.
Moderate: Death, Sexism, Confinement, Car accident, Violence, and Torture
Minor: Ableism
CW for ableism, sexism, confinement, car accident, violence, torture, major character death, death.
