One thing this book gave me that I've been begging for is a male romantic lead who is NOT mega tall with a thick head of hair and rippling abs. The best things about this book are Kathy's relationships with her (ex) husband, her older female friend, and the soul she's trying to help. I see that this is meant to be the start of a series, but it works quite well as a standalone and I wonder how potential books will be able to match up to the level of character growth and heartfelt bonding that Kathy went through here. 

The mystery was okay, but fairly similar to another book I've read, so it was easy for me to figure out. I also clocked who the real killer was very early, purely based on vibes. If you're reading this for the mystery and aren't looking for the soft stuff I mentioned earlier, you might be disappointed.

The audiobook narrator did a good job, she has a dynamic voice and had a few different voices. I didn't love the voice she used for Simon, and the crying moments for the main character were sometimes awkward, especially since there are so many of them.
