The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

4.0

Florence Day is a successful ghostwriter for a well known romance author but when she's left heartbroken after a bad breakup, she begins to question if there even is such a thing as true love. When a family tragedy calls her back to her small hometown, Florence has to face up to the ghosts that haunt her - both figuratively and literally. 

I went into this book with very low expectations, only reading it because it was the October book club pick for #prosbeforebrosbc. I'd read the blurb on the back and didn't think I was going to enjoy it. But such is the joy of bookclubs - you try books you might not have picked yourself and sometimes end up really enjoying it! 

A fun, heartwarming, wholesome story of love, loss, grief, heartbreak and finding yourself. It's marketed as a romcom but I thought it had more dimension to it than that, with some quite poignant moments perfectly balanced with a dash of humour. 

Very glad to have given this one a shot! A really solid 4 stars!
