The Dead Romantics: A GMA Book Club Pick
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK ∙ A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to 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, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she 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.

This is such a sweet and heartwarming story!! I loved the characters. Although it is marketed as a sweet romcom with magical realism elements, it was so much more! There was friendship, heartbreak, loss, self doubt and the sweetest, must touching love story!! â¥ï¸

Ok. I have not finished this book, and just now I am shocked to see it is by the same author as The Seven Year Slip because that book was lovely!! This book is not great. Florence is not likable, she drones on and on, there is such potential but over half way through I'm skipping to the dialog and I just don't care where it goes!
I loved this book. It made me cry, laugh, scream and feel every emotion possible. Iâve never felt more seen as a hopeless and confused romantic. Postonâs writing touched parts of my soul that lived like corpses in the basement of my mind. Absolutely amazing. 10/10
(Also Benji is officially one of my favorite [if not my favorite] book boyfriends. He was everything I couldâve hoped heâd be and more. I can only hope that one day Iâll find someone like himâthe Benji to my Florence)
