The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

4.0

I went into this book (my first by this author) blind and I am so glad I did. Ben and Florence’s story is so unique and so far left field of what I usually read, but I had the most amazing time reading it. The way Poston writes about death, grief, moving forward, and even celebrating the dead was so beautiful. I loved the tension between Ben and Florence (and the fact that they literally couldn’t act on it because you know, reasons) and I was so invested in how there would be a resolution by the end. I was so pleasantly surprised and pleased with the direction this book took. I’ll be thinking about this story for a while.
