Received from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review:
Ezra Friedman has always been the problem-solver of his family. So when his mom decides to spring a life-changing surprise on everyone during Passover Seder and then ghost them all, Ezra finds himself covering her office job at the family funeral home. The problem? Ezra sees ghosts, and one in particular - his zayde's - has haunted the funeral home and silently judged Ezra since his transition. And making matters worse, Ezra's cute new, widowed - and therefore completely off-linite - neighbor also spends a lot of time volunteering there. But as Ezra and his family slowly adjust to their new normal, he begins to see things a little differently. At turns hilariously and heart-wrenching, Rules of Ghosting hooked me from the beginning and remained un-put-downable for the entirety of the book. I would recommend this title to anyone who enjoys queer romances, messy yet lovable characters, family drama, and - or course - ghosts.
