If you like You've Got Mail and Pride and Prejudice, then you'd enjoy this. The premise itself was refreshing and immersive. You'd think all the talk about dead bodies would make the story less romantic, but it doesn't lol I enjoyed the character development- especially Mercy. I'll admit that this spoke to my grumpy male protagonist bias, and I wish it veered more from You've Got Mail than it did (at least, in the first half). But as a whole, this book was heartfelt, amusing, and incredibly romantic to me.
