The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston is a witty, heartfelt blend of romantic comedy, magical realism, and emotional contemporary fiction about grief, love, and second chances—both in life and beyond. Florence Day is a ghostwriter for a bestselling romance author, but after a crushing breakup, she no longer believes in happily-ever-afters. Love, to her, is officially dead.
When her strict yet undeniably attractive new editor refuses to extend her deadline, Florence’s career teeters on the edge. Then tragedy strikes, forcing her to return to her small Southern hometown for the first time in a decade to help her family run their funeral parlor after her father’s death. Surrounded by memories, unresolved feelings, and the family she tried to leave behind, Florence is confronted with everything she’s avoided.
But things take an unexpected turn when she finds a ghost at the funeral home’s door—and it’s her editor. Confused, charming, and stuck between worlds, his presence pushes Florence to confront not only unfinished business, but her own fear of love, loss, and vulnerability. As the line between life and afterlife blurs, Florence discovers that even broken hearts can heal—and some love stories refuse to stay buried.
Tender, funny, and deeply emotional, The Dead Romantics is perfect for readers who love romantic comedies with depth, magical realism, grief and healing stories, small-town settings, and slow-burn emotional romance.
