Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. Shes 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, wont 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 cant be falling for a ghost even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isnt 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.
