    Summary:

    New York Times Bestseller • Good Morning America Book Club Pick • A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter, who quite literally has some ghosts of her own, must find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston. A New York Times Notable Book of 2022. "I Loved this book! ... Funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy." — Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis. Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem—after a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. It’s as good as dead. When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, won't give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father. For ten years, she's run from the town that never understood her. She misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, but can’t bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it. Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlor’s front door—just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever—and he’s just as confused about why he’s there as she is. Romance is most certainly dead... but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything she’s ever known about love stories. "One of the Summer's Hottest Reads." — Entertainment Weekly.
