The Dead Romantics
by Ashley Poston
“Because ghost stories were just love stories about here and then and now and when, about pockets of happiness and moments that resonated in places long after their era. They were stories that taught you that love was never a matter of time, but a matter of timing.”

I feel really single right now.
Really single.
This book was just what I needed to start off my cozy, Halloween, reads! I fell in love with the story during the first couple of chapters, because of how relatable Florance was! I think out of all the books I have read, she was a protagonist I could really see myself. Her thoughts, passions, personality, and worries were all things I deeply understood. Granted she was definitely a lot more witty than I could ever be, but still, I felt that I was reading through a mirror. If that makes sense. All I need is a precious handsome editor of a man.
What I also loved about this book was all the references to other romance authors! I laughed at the jokes about book writing, because we all have read or written similar things that Florance has. I think my 13 year old self felt very seen.
I loved Benji. I loved how when you first meet him, he seems like the dark, broody, mean, love interest, but the more you get to know him as a "ghost" you see a side of him that is soooo not what I had in mind when I first started the book. I loved how cute and innocent he was! So precious!
I loved Florance and her family! Of course, I was a bit annoyed with them at first, but they grew on me.
The Dad's funeral made me cry.
Overall this book was just so cozy and so so so good! I loved every second of it!
