5.0

The premise is a little bit corny and unbelievable but the writing is beautiful and the characters take you on such an amazing ride that the little bit of corniness is well worth it. I cried a lot during this book — it’s about loss, but also about the things you can find inside your grief and loss. Florence is incredibly relatable to me for myriad reasons but I saw myself and others I love in the other characters as well. If you had told me before I read this book that I would believe in and love a ghost story romance, I would’ve called you a liar. But here we are.
