Description

A New York Times Notable Book of 2022!

The New York Times Bestseller and Good Morning America Book Club Pick!

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

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.

"One of the Summer's Hottest Reads"—Entertainment Weekly

Ce que les critiques en disent

"It’s ‘While You Were Sleeping’ meets ‘Six Feet Under,’ and I need to yell to everyone about how good it is…The result is an antidote for despair, a romance that is frank about the fact that life ends and time marches on but that nevertheless insists: We aren’t a gothic horror novel. We’re a love story. This is a book to make you laugh during the funeral scene and cry when the dance party begins."—The New York Times

“We could all use a good summer ghost story, and you can't get much better than Ashley Poston's adult fiction debut.”—Entertainment Weekly

“I LOVED this book. A beautiful, poignant story, full of beautiful, poignant characters. Florence is exactly the type of lovable, endearing, relatable lead I want to fall for, and her journey through learning how to love again had me squealing, sighing, laughing. The Dead Romantics is like a beautifully crafted puzzle: at the end all the pieces fall perfectly into place, and the picture that they form is at once touching, funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

cute, soulful

This is a book that is probably best appreciated by those who have lost someone close. It is insight and heartwarming. However, there are times when it was a bit too slow.
The narrator is spot on. I can hear the author and every character's personality and ticks through her. It is truly an awesome narration.

Wonderfully quirky read

I wasn’t sure what to expect when it started. My mind automatically tried figuring out the story and while I did I truly enjoy this story. Didn’t anticipate loving a ghost story so much but everything about it was entertaining and sweet and wonderful.

Good Read

4.5 stars
This is a smart, witty read. It deals with some tough topics – death, grief and self-worth/believing in oneself. BUT…it deals with these topics very well and with a depth hand. The characters are relatable, smart, quirky and all-together enjoyable. Ben and Florence are such opposites and yet they have so much in common. I loved these characters and their romance. It was perfect for them. The secondary characters were something else, even those never seen on page. This book made me laugh, cry and smile and sometimes all at the same time. It made me feel nostalgic and touched my heart.

If you’re on your own grief journey this book will make you cry, but might just also help heal you, a little. It’s an emotional ride for anyone who is traveling along the grief journey.

I listened to this on audio and enjoyed it. The narrator did a good job and was easy to both follow and understand.
