5/5 stars and I will in fact be reading The Dead Romantics because I want anything like this I can get my hands on. I will most DEFINITELY think about this book for a long long time, if not forever. Love you Ashley Poston, thank you so much for this amazing book that made my heart swell with joy!!š»

This was a great book. It was funny, emotional, heartwarming, sad, romanticā¦ all the good things.
Iām always pleased when a NY setting feels like a character of its own. This book did a great job at capturing that idea, but not in an overwhelming way.
The characters were so great. Reading about an almost 30yo who was stuck in a rut was so relatable.
The nickname was super cute! And the meshing of the then/now was really well done.
I just really loved reading this

I appreciated the bigger messages about love and grief, and I think Poston needs to either lean further into it and branch into literary romance, or start distancing herself from it and trying true fun romcoms. I find this gray space in the middle just. Middling.
Alternatively, I'd love to see the story from present-Iwan's perspective with relevant flashbacks. I think it'd make the story feel more complete.

It doesnāt get more star-crossed than meeting a really hot, sweet guy is a magical apartment only to realize heās living 7 years in the past, while juggling a career as a book publicist and the insurmountable grief over the ambiguous death of a beloved aunt, but thatās Clementineās life. I can even excuse the silly name and the sillier nickname- Lemon- because of how this book made me feel.
