This book has been on my physical TBR for almost 2 years and I finally read it! You know when you’re waiting to read a book because you just know you’re going to love it and you want to savor it? Yeah, that was me with this book. This was SO GOOD and I’m actually glad that I waited until now to read it, because I don’t know that I would have appreciated it as much 2 years ago. The narration for this audiobook is also *chef’s kiss* so props to the narrator!

One of the best books I’ve ever read- excellent plot twists, charming setting, strong characters, incredible main characters with amazing witty banter, LGBT+ representation (supporting characters), iconic Bestiehood, insightful, inspiring, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once!

A 4 star read simply for giving me the ending I’d hoped for, and the ending the characters deserved. The characters are well developed, diverse, relatable and lovable. The book covers romantic love, platonic love and family love. A cheesy romance for a couple laughs, a couple of tears, even a few twists and a whole heap of love.

I thought this book was pretty enjoyable

This was definitely a mood/vibe read. AND I've been promising to read this in spring since I bought it ages ago so I finally got to it. This book was really sweet and there were some really great scenes. I annotated TF outta this book and don't regret it whatsoever. I think Florence and Benji are so so cute and he is the perfect man for her. I loved all of the Day's too with all of their fun quirks.

The reason this book isn't getting a higher rating is because I didn't like the 3rd act breakup/conflict. I think that it took wayyyyy too long for them to meet again and wish they would've gotten back together as soon as she got to the hospital.

I picked this book up on a whim at the library, and it was surprising! While the content involves a family run funeral home and a death in the family, it’s actually humorous! The main character is struggling to write a book, and she begins speaking with this ghost who was actually an editor for books. The story journeys through her struggle to write, a family funeral back home, and the eventual plot twist at the end. This was a light read in my opinion and I’d recommend!
