I am freaking out about how much I love this book!  Picture You’ve Got Mail set in a fantasy world not so different from ours.  Its heroine, Mercy, is a sweet and sturdy undertaker who’s taken over the family business due to her father’s failing health.  Her counterpart, Hart, is a grumpy marshal whose job is, essentially, to kill zombies—someone’s got to do it!  Although they can’t stand each other at first, Hart and Mercy slowly peel back each other’s layers and discover the love that’s been right in front of them all along.  Kansas City author Megan Bannen’s one-of-a-kind story goes from gut-busting to heartbreaking and back again, and I loved every word!
