The Dead Romantics

The thing about human/ghost romances (it's got to be it's own genre) is there really is no "will they/won't they" tension, unless there's a twist, and I won't spoil for you whether there is or not. The "dead boyfriend" is often a convenient way to tell a story about saying goodbye. Author Ashley Boston took an interesting angle in this book by making the protagonist's family run the town mortuary, and the examples of how the Day family has supported so many people in the town through the worst time in their lives makes an interesting backdrop. The story started a little slowly for me but pace picked up dramatically when it is revealed how Florence's ex-boyfriend betrayed her. He was such an SOB that I would have added an extra half-star to this review if his comeuppance had been more satisfying. Overall an interesting story and a quick read/listen.
