The Dead Romantics


Overview

✨The bestselling magical rom-com now in a stunning hardback Collector's Edition featuring beautiful sprayed edges and designed endpapers!✨*** ‘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. *** Readers LOVE The Dead Romantics: ‘This book made me sob, wow. It made me feel so many feelings … Please prepare to have nonstop tears running down your face’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘This book destroyed my life but in a hot way’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Adorably romantic and an absolute pleasure to read’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Benji was a pure delight! Handsome, sexy and humble' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A bit quirky, funny, a bit sad at times but also makes you heart warm and romantic … couldn't put it down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A must read … I have a book hangover' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Praise for Ashley Poston: ‘I LOVED this book. A beautiful, poignant story, full of beautiful, poignant characters … at once touching, funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy’ Ali Hazelwood ‘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 'Smart, quick, and absolutely bubbling over with love for the genre of romance itself’ Emma Straub ‘The Seven Year Slip is a gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there. I laughed, I cried, I didn’t want it to end. Consider me Ashley Poston’s greatest admirer!’ Carley Fortune 'Smart, quirky and funny. I loved this one’ Sarah Morgan ‘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 ‘This is a book to make you laugh and cry’ New York Times ‘A tender, nuanced love story that fans of Emily Henry will adore’ Red ‘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 ‘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 ‘Poston[’s] sparkling dialogue makes the characters come alive – even the dead ones. Readers won’t be able to put this down.’ Publishers Weekly, starred review


Praise for Ashley Poston: 'Sounds Like Love gives new meaning to what it means to make a ""connection"" with someone. The whimsy and what-ifs of Ashley Poston’s novels have made her a must-buy for me!' Jodi Picoult 'Ashley Poston charms once again with Sounds Like Love. Deeply romantic and delightfully whimsical, every page had me humming along. This story will be on repeat in my head for a while' B.K. Borison 'I didn’t think it was possible to love Ashley Poston’s books any more than I already did, but SOUNDS LIKE LOVE is my new favorite. Romantic, deeply thoughtful, and exquisitely written, this one absolutely wrecked me' Annabel Monaghan 'A one of a kind talent, Ashley Poston writes books the way Taylor Swift writes songs, poetic but relatable and every single one a favourite. Sounds Like Love is Poston at her breathtaking best, blending the author's love of music with heartfelt storytelling and her trademark magical realism to perfection … By the end of the book, I was ugly crying so hard, my cats left the room. Even heartbreak feels good in an Ashley Poston book' Lindsey Kelk 'A sweet harmonious romance with a magical spark. Ashley Poston writes the bittersweet, the magical, and the joyous like no one else, and remains an auto-buy author for me!' Lizzie Huxley-Jones ‘I LOVED this book.
