The Regrets by Amy Bonnaffons
4.5
"We generally expected little from other humans besides absurdity. As a result, we were rarely disappointed."
This was conceptually absurd (ghost man stuck in bureaucratic death limbo) and contextually clever (hello metaphors). I was far from disappointed.
If you're reading this for standard romance, you will likely be disappointed. You aren't getting a clean line HEA (I mean, come on, we're dealing with a dead dude). If you're seeking a perceptive, emotionally intelligent, character-driven, imaginative novel anchored by realistic experiences that explores the haunting nature of unhealthy relationships, the holes we try to fill, the seams we often seal unsuccessfully, possession, connection, unavailability, harmful sacrifices, the disconnect between dreams and reality, this novel will fill that void.
"This was an active absence, a force that wanted to know me just as I wanted to know it. No, not just to know me: to take something from me. It corroded and gnawed at reality. The longer I touched it, the further from reality I would move."
