A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston.

Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem—after a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. It’s as good as dead.

When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father.

For ten years, she’s run from the town that never understood her, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she can’t bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it.

Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlor’s front door, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, and he’s just as confused about why he’s there as she is.

Romance is most certainly dead... but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything she’s ever known about love stories.

“I LOVED this book! …Funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

Um editor de romance e uma romancista

Estou chorando enquanto escrevo essa resenha.

Que lindo e doce livro. Li ele aos poucos antes de dormi durante essa semana e toda vez ou eu chorava um pouco ou começa a rir. Florence é estranhamente engraçada e a sua história é tão colorida e cheia de amor, mas que se passa em uma casa vitoriana que serve de casa funerária, localizada em uma cidade pequena, onde ela cresceu.

O livro fale sobre o luto, como esse sentimento é devastador, mas pode ser superado e em como ela não acreditava mais em amor, mas o seu editor aparece na porta dele como um espírito.

Ela vai ajudar ele enquanto volta para a sua casa, onde vai enfrentar o passado e o luto.

O livro é lindo e me deixou com um sentimento quentinho no coração, mas me fez corar bastante também.
