I think the universe is against me writing this silly review bc I've been thinking and 'writing' for almost 3 hours? I mean, wasn't actually writing since I got into a fight with a roach but oh well😔 (almost lost it, but got my revenge after 1 hour and half).
But that's enough of this story.

This was the first book by Ashley Poston I've ever picked up and I'm not disappointed, at all!😋 her writing wasn't bad and the characters were nice: the fmc, Florence, was very relatable🥹 and our love interest, Benji, is a cutie patootie.
The book follows Florence Day, a ghostwriter for a renowned romance author, as she navigates a difficult return to her hometown followed by her surprisingly dead (and handsome🫦) editor, who only she can see.

I wasn’t good at other people’s emotions because I didn’t know how to help, usually.
When someone was in pain, I wanted to fix it.
But I couldn’t.

The plot was good, most of the time and the little plot twists here and there, absolute chef kiss!! But some chapters weren't interesting, like I couldn't care less about them😭and this created an alternation between parts that I couldn't wait to read and parts that I didn't care to read. The chapters are short, which is an appreciated trait in a book, but I wished there were a bit longer to focus more on Benji's background and some aspects of the book. This was surprising, since I would never say to make the chapters longer (hardcore short chapters fan🫱🏼‍🫲��) but that's how much I was invested.

"You know, you being angry on my behalf is kinda sweet. I wish I’d met you sooner when you were alive.��
“Me, too".

Overall I would recommend this: there are some deep themes, such as grief and regret, and if you're okay with that and think that the plot is intriguing, you should give it a go. It's a bit different from the usual romance novels but it's worth giving a try🫶🏼
