The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
5.0

This book was an absolute joy to read. The family dynamics and depiction of grief were wonderful, but the romance between Florence and Ben stole the freaking show. I adore a good grumpy/sunshine story, and this was that trope x100000. Ben was so straight-laced and serious, but secretly harbored a big soft heart. Florence was quirky and fun without straying into manic pixie dream girl territory (ick). I just loved them so much, and I loved this book, and everything is wonderful when it comes to The Dead Romantics.
