There was so much going on in this book.  I listened to the audiobook and I think it was too much to keep up with.  If I'd read physically, I think I would have liked it more.  Our main character's father dies (not a spoiler) and her family runs a funeral home.  There is family stuff going on due to that, but there is also work stuff, and then we have a romance plot line and also a ghost plot line.  It all intertwines beautifully, so props to the author for that.  I appreciate that this is a romance with some grit.  I wouldn't call it heavy, but I also wouldn't call it a "light" read.
