My flight to Canada was delayed because of the storm, so by the time I actually arrived n Toronto, I had finished the whole thing! A classic meet-cute rom com, with the twist that the main character‘s family can see ghosts and help them with their “last request” before passing over. A little predictable at times, but Sabrina‘s depression was relatable and Ray‘s patience and understanding tugged at my heartstrings.

I never got to posting my Christmas stuff before going on vacation, so I‘m about to dump a couple of posts before the year ends. My mom got me a subscription to Box of Books, and the theme of this box was cooking. I LOVE the cookbook, and I read the romance novel on the plane to Canada!

This vacation was largely inspired by the tagged romance (The Kindred Spirits Supper Club). This drink was 100% inspired by the same. I got a Pink Squirrel! 🍹🐿💖

This was such a great book! I loved the WI Dells setting and WI references, the cute romance between Sabrina and Ray, the supporting and loving family, the paranormal aspect and the mental health rep of anxiety. I‘ve read other books by Amy Reichert and enjoyed them, but this was my favorite by far. Makes me want to run out to a supper club!

“Come out sometime and I‘ll make you the best brandy old-fashioned you‘ve ever had.”

“I‘m not interested in an old-fashioned. My last old-fashioned left me for a craft mocktail.”

Who else loves books set in their home state? Wisconsin definitely has treasures only found here, or at least, that are better here than other parts of the county. 🍺 🧀 🍦

??? What I liked: Ray & Sabrina are adorable. Her ability to talk to ghosts, especially Molly. Loved Sabrina's Mom. How Sabrina and Ray get together - very cute. What I disliked: How Ray's parents were with him, especially in the end. As someone who suffers panic attacks, I appreciate the author having a character go through those, but it felt kind of flippant & not really addressed or more of a "quirk" of Sabrina's. Cute read, just not 5 ?'s.

I like the worlds that Reichert creates (I‘ve read every one of her books), but I‘m often disappointed in the character development and, ultimately, the plot. This one has an anxious MC who can see ghosts and works for her high school nemesis. A set up with potential. But the plot had too much going on and the interactions between the two love interests felt off.

I do recommend checking Reichert out for fun romance.

Usually, I get a little judgmental when a romance isn‘t super steamy. This is a big exception! Absolutely no judgment here for this wonderfully sweet (& sometimes sexy) story. And no judgment from ME is really an accomplishment! #Capricorn

This one‘s got it all: love, cheese, brandy old-fashioneds, ghosts, dogs, female friendship, a small mystery, & post-it notes aplenty.

Sabrina‘s an empathetic MC, struggling with anxiety & kind to a fault.👇🏻

Of course Chewie had to be in the middle of book club! 😆

I love her books so much and this was no exception!! Love the characters and love that it is set in Wisconsin!! Made me want a brandy old fashioned and deep fried cheese curds!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Charming. Quirky. Oddly relatable. Family secrets abound, and a fake relationship turns very real (one of my FAVORITE romance tropes). It‘s vague...I know. But I don‘t want to give too much away! Read it and you‘ll see why!!

Review is up on my blog. Check it out. This is a good one!
