The Dead Romantics by Ashley PostonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
Didn't have quite as strong romance genre vibe as I thought it would.
First half more chik-lit/women's fic with FMC going home for her father's funeral and contemplating her life, inability to finish ghostwriting for a famous author that she's being do for year and trying to move on by getting taken advantage of by an ex boyfriend.
Second half does get more romance with her ability to see ghosts has someone coming into her life and they get to know one another.
You could say seasonal vibes with the ghost aspect and if you need to know if it has an HEA or HFN,

END SPOILER
This didn't hit me the way it did some but there was a really little quick scene where the ghost husband still sends his alive wife flowers and it made me tear up:
There was a shimmer in the hall behind her, an older man in an orange sweater and brown trousers, the hair that was left on the sides of his head combed back. He mouthed, “Thank you,” his eyes glistening with tears.
Sometimes, a spirit’s final business wasn’t talking to someone, or exposing their murderer, or seeing their own dead body—sometimes it was simply a waiting game.
A little something different, a little something good
