When I heard ghost romance I was like nope. Love Ashley Poston but that sounds weird. Except my friends convinced me to give it a shot and wow, I apologise for questioning Ashley Poston.
She never misses???
How was this book this good? Not only do we get a lovely toe-curling romance with extreme pining cause one of them is literally a ghost but we also have some wonderful themes like grief, family, self-love and asking for help <3
I'm here for all the writer-editor tropes of course but the heart of the story lies in Florence and her family. I'm all here for messy families and figuring stuff out. Grieving, living life and remembering everything nice.
Gosh this isn't a coherent review at all but this book will make you laugh, want to strangle certain characters, cry with the protagonist and then yearn for the romance as well <3
I'd actually hate for people not to read this book thinking it's just another romance because it's SO much more than romance! In fact I felt that this was more of a contemporary novel than romance, as in I loved the focus on our protagonist's other aspects of life and the romance just came in like the cherry on top.
Highly recommended from my side <3
