The Dead Romantics

For some reason unknown to me, grief seams to be a recurring theme on 2022 contemporary romance releases.
This one, however, was brilliant and my favorite so far. It is the type of book that reminds me why I enjoy romances.
What I liked about the book:
- It gives a different perspective on how to perceive death
- Likable characters
- Refreshing romance, not dependent on tradicional tropes
I definitely recommend for contemporary romance readers.
Gave up 10% into this, and surprise, it wasn't even the supernatural element that did it, no it was the annoying protagonist, who devoid of all self-confidence let's herself get dragged along on a night out on the eve of an important deadline.
I am so sad about this. The authors writing and story telling is fantastic. I loved the words on the pages but everything about the romance felt lack luster which given this is a romance made this fall extremely flat. I can't even say that anything was wrong per say but just I didn't believe the love.
This a sweet story of grief and learning to love again. We follow our FMC who's dad just died and has to go back home. The eclectic family who own a funeral home and some of them see ghost, our FMC being one of them. As she comes home in the midst of funeral planning, her editor comes to her in a slightly blurry and definitely not alive. With the goal of helping him pass on to the afterlife, they have adventures within this small town and find themselves digging into their desires.
Give it a try! It just didn't work perfectly in my noggin.
3.75, el principio es aburrido para reventar pero el final es digno de comedia romántica de los 90-2000's
I can't believe it's finished. I had a whole range of emotions running through me while reading this. Mostly happiness but there were a lot of tears involved.
4 stars!
Loved this book! I got a kick out of the “Ghostwriter who sees ghosts” which i didn't even realize until i was trying to explain my current read to my spouse. The Day family seems like a bunch i'd love to hang out with and the story line was solid and not easily predictable. I appreciate that. I hope this author comes out with more stories.
delightful!
I loved the characters, I loved the setting, I loved the whole premise. The book is well paced and engaging, and I couldn't put it down.
so good!!so I'll be short. the first half of the book was good but not engaging, aroud the 61% trough the book, it started to get really good. I actually had predicted the coma part from the beginning so... happy me. overall so cute and wholesome. loved it but not a 5 star read.
