El amor ha muerto / The Dead Romantics

About El amor ha muerto / The Dead Romantics

Una escritora por encargo con un don muy especial deberá terminar una novela sobre el amor (en el que ya no cree) para quitarse de encima al fantasma de su editor.

«El amor ha muerto es un rompecabezas maravillosamente elaborado: al final, todas las piezas encajan perfectamente en su sitio y la imagen que forman es a la vez emotiva, divertida, sorprendente, esperanzadora y soñadora». -Ali Hazelwood, autora de La hipótesis del amor

Florence Day escribe por encargo para una de las autoras de romántica más prolíficas de la industria, pero tiene un problema: tras una ruptura terrible, ha dejado de creer en el amor. Para ella, está muerto y enterrado. Y de esto Florence sabe mucho, porque tiene un don que le permite ver fantasmas desde niña.

Cuando su nuevo editor no acepta darle una prórroga para su última entrega, Florence se prepara para decirle adiós a su carrera, pero justo entonces recibe una llamada sobre otra despedida que la obliga a volver a casa. Y, aunque Florence espera encontrarse su pueblo natal casi como lo dejó, se lleva una sorpresa cuando un fantasma inesperado la sorprende en la puerta de la funeraria familiar.

Para ella, el romanticismo ha pasado a mejor vida… pero lo mismo le ha sucedido a Benji, su editor, y su asunto sin resolver hará que Florence se cuestione todo lo que siempre ha creído saber sobre las historias de amor.

“I LOVED this book! …Funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston.

Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem—after a terrible breakup, 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, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, 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.
