Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens
3.0

I loved the writing style/tone of this book, but this book was also WEIRD! I loved the ghost concept, I love lesbians, I love a period piece. The unreliable 1st person narrator who could simultaneously share the thoughts of the other characters was very cool and definitely kept me on my toes. I couldn't get passed the 14 year old ghost falling in love with this milf though, nor could I get over the glorification of non-consensual touching, even if it was done by a ghost, and even if she did acknowledge that she was a "creep." But alas, I was super engaged in the book and found it really interesting and unique. And like I said, Stevens' writing style is superb.
