Six months ago, Clementine West had the worst day of her life. So, she came up with a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, take no risks. And its been working.
That is until one day she finds a strange man standing in her kitchen. A man with kind eyes, a crooked smile, and a recipe for the perfect lemon meringue pie. The kind of man that, before everything, she could have fallen for
Hes perfect but for one thing: he lives in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact.
This should be impossible, but Clementine used to love impossible things. And maybe, just maybe, she will again. After all, love is never a matter of time but a matter of timing.

Smart, quirky and funny. I loved this one.

What fun the Emily Henry/Casey McQuiston reader (aka me) is going to gobble this book up. Smart, quick, delicious.
Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow
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 lovequirky 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
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.
