About this listen
***
‘I LOVED this book! Funny, hopeful and dreamy’ ALI HAZELWOOD
‘An absolute delight’ CHRISTINA LAUREN
***
Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She’s supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up, Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.
When tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot – yet now unquestionably dead – new editor.
As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can’t be falling for a ghost – even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn’t dead, after all?
If you fell in love with Funny Story, This Spells Love and The Hating Game, this laugh-out-loud romance will sweep you away.

Beautiful

Beautifully written story that I will no doubt go back to. Would most certainly recommend. Ghosts, tales of loss, finding yourself and most importantly, standing up for yourself.
Really enjoyed the narrators voice too.

The story of a ghostwriter, her dead editor, and her family that owns a funeral home is not one I will be forgetting any time soon. I was immensely moved.
The audiobook performance was fantastic as well - a great single narration style production.
Such a unique story
