BOOK SUMMARY:

Two people haunted by their exes find that love isn’t dead in this heartfelt romance from the beloved authors of The Roughest Draft.

Morgan is being ghosted by her ex. No, really. It’s sad Zach died and became a ghost. But Morgan and Zach only ever went on the one date, and now she’s being haunted by him. Zach has no desire to spend eternity with Morgan, but he can’t recall his past and doesn’t know how to move on.

At a support group for humans and their haunters, Morgan and Zach run into Sawyer, whose fiancée-turned-ghost has started to fade. Unlike Morgan, Sawyer isn’t ready to part ways with his ghost. Although they face opposite issues, Morgan and Sawyer decide to work together to solve their problems.

As Morgan and Sawyer try to solve their paranormal conundrums together, they find something even more surprising—a tender, growing affection between them that threatens any unfinished business they’re seeking to close. The ghosts of their past might be there in spirit, but the connection between Morgan and Sawyer is as alive as anything they’ve ever felt.

SURPRISED IN THE BEST WAY.

I don’t usually read contemporary books that center around loss of a partner/spouse because my anxiety kicks into overdrive, but as someone who’s continually loved Emily & Austin’s books I wanted to give it a go. Y’ALL. This one gutted me in so many ways and was incredible. I loved it. You must read it too!!!!

I loved both of the MC’s. Struggling through their respective paths and coming together over the most unlikely of circumstances. There’s raw emotion and anger and grief and woven in-between those heavier moments are laughter, love, and the hope of the next day being just a little bit easier. Everything just worked for me in this book and I had the best time reading it.

The journey for the paranormal characters worked for me too. There’s this awful understanding that sometimes you’re not going to have all of the answers and sometimes you won’t have the closure you’re after but that things can still be okay. The loads of impactful moments here would take too long to write down.

It’s a beautiful story. Go read it!
