I enjoyed this. It was an interesting spin on the "there's a hot ghost in my apartment" trope that I've seen a bit lately.
I thought Jillian was sweet. I didn't entirely understand her reasoning for why she quit talking to men entirely but it falls under the grief umbrella. The idea of a silent woman who only interacts in awkward chuckles and shrugs sounds like an awful dating partner and I cringed hard at the idea that she was set up on 150 dates. I loved that she didn't have any issues opening up to Daniel when she finds him in her apartment.
Daniel remembers nothing from what he assumes is an accident except that he feels safe and calm next to Jillian. He accompanies her on her horrible dates and helps to coach her through awkward situations. They end up becoming extremely close and the plot diverges here from where I thought it would.
I thought this was such an interesting take because I expected him to be in a coma or something and he absolutely was not. I actually "oooh-ed" when everything came out the way it did. It took me DAYS to finish the book because I knew the blow up was going to be absolutely brutal and it was.
