I don’t know if I can fully articulate the thoughts and feelings I have for this book as none would be enough to describe how beautiful, vulnerable, refreshing, and whimsical it is. I hope that this reel helps to capture the vibes of the book and entices you to request it on Net Galley, pre-order it from your local bookstore, and recommend your library add it to their collection.
Good Spirits is the story of Nolan as the Ghost of Christmas Past who is sent to help Harriet understand her past failings and change her behaviour in the future. The problem? Harriet isn’t a bad person. She’s kind, generous, funny, sensitive, and simply does not have the capacity to be mean to anyone.
This begins a journey for Harriet and Nolan, to figure out why he’s been sent to her, but then as their attraction to one another grows, figure out how to make the most of their time together.
The character growth for both characters is so lovely and BK has written them with such care. The magical realism just makes sense and is riveting and feels authentic.
There are moments that will make you swoon (one scene made me DM BK to say that it’s this book’s Darcy handflex) and you’ll laugh and smile and cry.
This book is a masterpiece. I can’t believe it’s the first book in a trilogy so we get to visit this universe again.
What a privilege it was to read this book. I will be re-reading it again soon.
A huge thank you to BK for letting me DM like a mad woman so I could express my incoherent thoughts and I experienced this story. Thank you for writing beautiful stories of love and hope.
