Rating: 3 Stars Themes: Romance Thoughts: Poston wrote us a cute supernatural love story with layers and happy endings nonetheless. Florence is an interesting character of someone who sees ghosts but instead of seeing it as haunting, was raised to see it as a need to help them move along. I also liked that Poston took the family in an opposing way to the spooky, Addams family way that people who see ghosts and undertakers are often shown with the Day family. Benji is also very sweet outside of the office and he handled being a ghost surprisingly well. The ending was sweet and I’d be interested to see if there’s a follow up novel or novella with the siblings' love stories too. Favourite Quote: “Because ghost stories were just love stories about here and then and now and when, about pockets of happiness and moments that resonated in places long after their era. They were stories that taught you that love was never a matter of time, but a matter of timing.”
Rating: DNF Thoughts: I love Jewell’s thriller books so when someone offered me this one I thought I may as well give it a go but it looks like her chicklit ones aren’t for me. I found Vince and Joy are both insufferable with Vince being extremely judgemental about looks despite having an issue himself growing up and knowing how difficult it can be to be stared at like that and Joy blaming her own inability to cope on parents instead of working on it/herself. It should also be emphasised that a suicide attempt is NOT a parents fault regardless of an affair and it gave 13 reasons vibes with everyone else being to blame for her own choices.
