Ghost meets The Bold Type in this sparkling adult debut about a disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, from nationally bestselling author Ashley Poston. Florence Day is a ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem-after a terrible break-up, 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, too tall and too broad to be her father, 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.

It s While You Were Sleeping meets Six Feet Under, and I need to yell to everyone about how good it is The result is an antidote for despair, a romance that is frank about the fact that life ends and time marches on but that nevertheless insists: We aren t a gothic horror novel. We re a love story. This is a book to make you laugh during the funeral scene and cry when the dance party begins." The New York Times
We could all use a good summer ghost story, and you can't get much better than Ashley Poston's adult fiction debut. Entertainment Weekly
I LOVED this book. A beautiful, poignant story, full of beautiful, poignant characters. Florence is exactly the type of lovable, endearing, relatable lead I want to fall for, and her journey through learning how to love again had me squealing, sighing, laughing. The Dead Romantics is like a beautifully crafted puzzle: at the end all the pieces fall perfectly into place, and the picture that they form is at once touching, funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy.
Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
What fun the Emily Henry/Casey McQuiston reader (aka me) is going to gobble this book up. Smart, quick, and absolutely bubbling over with love for the genre of romance itself. Delicious.
Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow
"The Dead Romantics was an absolute and unexpected delight. Voicy and quirky and fun; the pages will probably sparkle (but with black glitter)."
Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
"The Dead Romantics takes so many things I love quirky heroines, found families, cozy small towns, fanfics, GHOSTS (!!!) and gives them all a fresh, fun, thoroughly modern spin. This is truly a RomCom to die for!"
Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of Reckless Girls
This book made me fall in love, broke my heart then reassembled it at least twice, and left me swooning. A hauntingly romantic, hilariously heartwarming story. Ashley Poston is the real deal.
Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Not Your Average Hot Guy
"Poston makes her adult debut with a refreshing rom-com about love, loss, and hope....She manages to both affirm the cynics and give hope to the romantics by simultaneously embracing and subverting rom-com tropes. The sparkling dialogue makes the characters come alive even the dead ones. Readers won t be able to put this down."
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Romance, chaos, and complications are central components in Poston's refreshingly fun, spirited rom-coms, and The Dead Romantics is no exception. The beauty and charm of Poston's storytelling continues to make miraculous happy endings out of the messes in which ordinary people often find themselves entangled.
