The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I liked the premise of this book! The themes of grief and death were handled well. I liked Florence as a character and her internal struggles were interesting to read about. She was also funny and relatable but at times could be pretty cringe,
like googly eyes on his abs?? Be so for real rn
I liked the yearning that Ben being a ghost that Florence can’t touch creates. Her family seems really supportive and tough conversations are had. I liked the ending and the queer representation provided by the side characters. Cute and lighthearted read!!
