I don't use this term lightly, but I would dare to call Rules for Ghosting "cozy."
It is a romance and a family drama, yes, but foremost it's a story about Ezra navigating his (gender transcendent) "eldest daughter syndrome."
Ezra has spent his entire life playing mediator and tying himself in knots to make other people happy. He is the emotional center of his family. We follow him as he slowly finds his voice and his self-worth, in his romantic, platonic, and familial relationships.
Even while right in the melodrama, this book still feels like a warm hug.
