‘I LOVED this book! Funny, hopeful and dreamy’ ALI HAZELWOOD

‘An absolute delight’ CHRISTINA LAUREN

***

Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She’s supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up, Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.

When tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot – yet now unquestionably dead – new editor.

As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can’t be falling for a ghost – even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn’t dead, after all?

If you fell in love with Funny Story, This Spells Love and The Hating Game, this laugh-out-loud romance will sweep you away.

A heartfelt story of love and sorrow intertwined; with great twists and turns throughout. The narrator did a good job at distinguishing each character.

I loved this story, and I loved the narration by Eileen Stevens. I loved the concept of "Miss Day" seeing and talking to the ghosts. It was a delightful tale about a girl who felt as if she didn't fit it. BUT she was so unique, so special that she outshone the inhabitants of the little town.
LOVED IT.

LOVELY

I wouldn't want a single part of this book. The characters are perfectly flawed, loveable and I grieved and healed along with them. 5 stars!

Such a great book, the language was beautiful and the performance was on point. Highly recommend. Not a light read, but deep issues is a digestible way

Start to finish I was hooked

A beautiful exploration of love, life, death, grief, hope and small moments. It is a love letter to writing and the romance genre. I have NO NOTES. This was utter perfection. I laughed. I ached. I sobbed my ruined heart out.

Stunning.

I so loved this book, all the way until the ending dragged out too long (without spoilers, it should have ended when she opens the door).I have some issues with some of the side characters in Florence's home town who felt like they were just a bit too cookie-cutter without depth. But such beautiful writing and Eileen Stevens does a gorgeous job of bringing it to life.

Stacked the landing, but lovely all round

⭐️⭐️✨ 2.5 stars, and a fair bit of confusion about why people love this book so much.

I meant to write a proper review for this book months ago, but obviously it left such a minute impression on me that the review wasn't the only thing that slipped my mind—I forgot about The Dead Romantics altogether.

So, that pretty much sums it up for me, I guess. I remember very little of this book other than I enjoyed it less than The Seven Year Slip, which I had very mixed feelings about.

I won't be reading it again.
