The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
4.0
emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
  • paranormal romance
    • Florence can see ghosts
    • her family owns a funeral home
  • small town setting
  • it's fairly slow burn due to the... circumstances
  • family dynamics are a big focus
  • diverse, queer side characters

This book deals heavily with grief and the death of a parent, so it should be approached in the right headspace. Florence's Ex is a POS. I think for a romance this was a bit light on the romance and more focus on Florence's past, her family and like what's going on with her career.

3/5🌶️
