Unfortunately, this didn't work for me even though I adored Seven Year Slip. I think it was something about the tone or I was never sure of the mechanics of how Florence's ghost vision worked, or I was never 100% sold on the concept of her falling in love with a ghost. I do think Ashley Poston does and incredible job of bringing conversations about grief into love stories and I did like how that was handled in this, but overall not a win for me.
