La lectura estuvo bien para pasar el rato, pero no sentí que el romance fuese lo más lindo del mundo a parte la circunstancia en la que de desarrollo puede triggerear a algunas personas puesto que el romance se desarrolla a través del duelo por la perdida de un ser querido.
La protagonista me cayó bien aunque siento que con todos los personajes solo se vió la superficie, nunca pudimos conocerles a fondo.

"There is no happy ending, there's just... happy living. As best you can. Or whatever. Metaphor-metaphor-simile shit"
A beautifully written story about ghosts, love, grief and hope. This is the second Ashley Poston novel I've read this year and she'll now be an auto-read author for me. I loved this... ardently.

This book was a nice, light read. I particularly enjoyed the queer representation in some of the side characters, and the dynamic way all the characters in the book were written.

Positives. This book is really charming and great if you need a light, comforting read. The premise is original, the characters funny and the ending unequivocally happy. Furthermore, the way grief is portrayed is beautiful and well-written.
Negatives. The author really tries to give the characters interesting and grounded personalities as this allows you to empathize more with them. However, where she fails -I think- is in translating personality into action. We are told over and over again how certain characters should be but their actions (while oftentimes in line with their personality) are understated and disproportionate to the circumstances they find themselves in.
