From the beginning, I could tell that this was a book that the author enjoyed writing. It was filled with humor despite the morbid situations that were presented, and the puns were alive even if the characters were not.

I had no idea what I was walking into when I started this book, but the last thing I expected was for the main character’s new boss to show up at her childhood home when she returns home for her father’s funeral. And I most definitely didn’t expect this new boss to be dead.

Florence Day can talk to and see ghosts. So could her dad. But telling anyone outside of her family had only ever resulted in backlash. So she kept it to herself. But why keep anything a secret from a ghost?

In an attempt to recover her own connections with her family and her hometown, Florence attempts to help her new boss figure out why he’s stuck behind and how to move forward in the afterlife. The bond, playful banter, and genuine friendship that they share pulled at my heartstrings and almost made me wish I could have a ghost boyfriend (but I’ll keep my very-much-alive husband for now, thanks). Even though I predicted what would happen after only a few chapters in, the journey the characters take together is entirely worth reading.

A fantastic novel by Ashley Poston, I know I will be seeking out any and all books she writes in the future. This book is easily one of my favorites this year.
