5.0

The Dead Romantics is for the eldest siblings, people with anxiety, those who escape into books, the 'tis the damn season lovers, people who were bullied in school, the hopeless romantics who have been hurt by love but keep trying, and the people who long for things that only exist in their memories.

This cute, spooky book hurt , but was so comforting at the same time. A beautiful exploration of grief, family, love, and learning to trust again.

The perfect read for an autumnal night when you want something cosy, human, and full of heart.

Thank you HQ/ HarperCollins and NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review!
